Bond Adapt Staffing Agency Software Reduces Weekly Timesheet, Invoicing and Payroll Processing Time From 3 Days to 1/2 a Day

LONDON, Nov. 11, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- P+K Recruitment, an employment agency specialising in the placing of supply teachers across the education sector, will reduce the time taken to complete timesheets and process invoices & payroll from three working days to a maximum of half a day. Taking advantage of its inherent flexibility, recruitment system Bond Adapt http://www.bondadapt.com – the recruitment agency software from Bond International Software the staffing agency software & HCM specialist – has been configured to meet the specific business needs of the agency.

P+K Recruitment is a recruitment system placing supply teachers in positions across nursery, primary and secondary schools. With offices in Wakefield, Sheffield and Birmingham, the business places over 500 teachers per week.

Karl Housley, Business Director at P+K Recruitment comments, "A single teacher could perform the same role, but be placed in different schools, for different lengths of time, on different pay scales. Such an array of permutations means creating timesheets, invoicing schools and running payroll functions is an extremely drawn out and manual process, and at present, takes up to three days per week to complete. Bond have therefore configured our software to automate the timesheet completion process, and once we have integrated Adapt over the coming weeks to automatically share data with Sage, the time taken to complete the timesheets, payroll and invoicing functions will be reduced to only half a day."

Bond Adapt is also helping P+K Recruitment system to securely store, manage and share information on individual teachers. Whenever a supply teacher was booked into a school, P+K Recruitment system would have to manually collate the pertinent information on the teacher, such as qualifications, criminal records, various background accreditations such as CRB and GTC checks and even photography on the recruitment agency software, so that it could be sent ahead of the teacher's arrival. This was an arduous and time-consuming process, but has been replaced by Adapt's automated staffing agency software creation of a single, manageable document.

Housley continues, "Safeguarding of children has become absolutely paramount in the education sector, with schools now demanding more and more scrutiny of the people they are employing, even if for only short periods. Before even considering employing a supply teacher, schools are now requesting we provide full background information, often in short timeframes. The recruitment system from Bond Adapt recruitment agency software however allows us to not only store this information, but also distribute it instantly. The feedback from the schools following receiving these automated documents has been excellent, thereby enhancing our reputation in the supply teaching market."

Housley concludes, "The service we receive from Bond International Staffing Agency Software has been excellent. Given our reasons for using the recruitment system, we have requested very specific configurations, which have always been provided by Bond recruitment system. Our account manager is very understanding of our needs as a business, and always ensures face-to-face contact whenever possible, which we really appreciate. Moving forwards, we are looking to expand our business by setting up two new companies for recruitment in two other verticals and I am confident that Bond Adapt staffing agency software will be as effective in these two organisations as it is currently in P+K Education."
