Bond International Software's Applicant Tracking Solution
Soars to New Heights
The airline industry makes great strides using Bond
Talent
Bond Talent is a specialist
application for the global talent management industry which has over
many years earned Bond the reputation for enhancing business growth and
profitability throughout the industry. The software is the preferred
choice of recruitment and resourcing teams in over 40 countries
worldwide, with 70,000 users benefiting daily from the configurable
web-based solutions. The success of the Bond Talent solution is
especially evident in the airline industry, as seen below.
- Flybe,
one of Europe's largest low-cost airlines, uses Bond
Talent for its online recruitment system.
The system is part of a software development project which
has enabled Flybe to use Bond's specialist talent management
software to develop an online recruitment system within just one
week of contracts being signed. Urgency was a vital part of this
order to support Flybe's recruitment drive and will ensure
that candidates are managed with greater efficiency and tracked
immediately from initial application.
- Knight Frank, the leading
independent global commercial and residential property
consultants, utilizes Bond Talent because the solution
automatically correlates employee information from a variety of
sources such as web, email and post and formulates them into a
single, online application form. The sophisticated workflow
solution allows both Line Manager and HR to track online an
application via a dedicated web portal as it is reviewed and
commented upon and moves through the organization's HR and
recruitment system.
- bmi, Heathrow's second largest
airline, is the fourth airline to select Bond Talent, because
it is a powerful and versatile database application specifically
designed to manage the entire recruitment lifecycle and drive down
the overall 'cost-per-hire'. Bond Talent tracks each
online application received and includes an intuitive recruitment
tool to manage all applications more effectively and ensure that
candidates are dealt with quickly and efficiently. The system is
user-friendly and flexible allowing for reduced paperwork and
improved efficiency. This gives key recruitment staff more time to
concentrate on development rather than administrative tasks.
- Jet2.com, the
North of England's leading low cost UK airline, makes use of Bond
Talent because it operates scheduled services from 6 UK airports
and the talent management solution supports expansion plans and a
recruitment drive across the business. The solution
initially was deployed to support a focused recruitment drive
by the airline to attract cabin services applicants. The system was
then expanded to include the recruitment of flight deck,
engineering, operations and administrative staff.

Recruiting Software Analysis Guide
Evaluate
your options today
If you've ever been given the task to find a specific
software solution for your company, you know the evaluation process can
be grueling. It's time- consuming, difficult, and can even feel
impossible to accurately compare the features and functionality that
each solution offers.
Now, think about recruiting software, specifically, Applicant Tracking
Software. If you work in HR or are a hiring manager, you understand the
steps involved throughout the entire hiring process. And if you're
looking to completely automate that process, you better have a solution
that can meet the demands specific to your organization.
At Bond International Software, we created our applicant tracking
system to meet and exceed the demands of today's corporate hiring
environment. However, unless you can compare the myriad of solutions
out on the market, how do you know which is best?
To help in your evaluation process, we've developed a Corporate
Recruiting ATS Software Analysis Guide.
Our four-page guide will help tremendously in your ATS evaluation
process, allowing you to choose the best solution. Whether it's
StarSearcher or another software you ultimately select, we understand
that your hiring process is important and is getting increasingly
competitive; we'd like to help you make the most informed decision
possible.
