Bond International
Software announced today that Bond eEmpACT v16 staffing software – complete with iPhone™ and
iPad™ integrations – will debut and be available for sale at the
American Staffing Association’s (ASA) Staffing World Convention
and Expo, October 12 -15 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
At the forefront of the advancements is new iPhone and iPad integration
– allowing recruiters to access every aspect of their eEmpACT v16 systems so
they can perform candidate searches, update vacancies and access profiles while
on the move.
This announcement comes as U.S. staffing companies are reporting strong
growth in the number of temporary workers employed in the second quarter of
this year, compared with the same period last year, according to survey data
released by the ASA.
Staffing
sales in the second quarter of this year totaled $16.9 billion, according to
ASA survey results — a 32.8% increase over the same period last year. This is
the largest year-to-year percentage increase recorded since ASA began tracking
industry sales on a quarterly basis
in 1992.
Bond International Software’s mobile enhancements to its industry-leading
front and back office staffing software solution are just the start of what
makes eEmpACT v16 newsworthy.
The software has a host of other new integrations that will create greater
efficiencies in their customers’ staffing operations, including:
- Re-designed User Interface
- Performance Snapshots for Key Business Information
- Added Reports Capabilities
- Integration with Social Networking sites Twitter and
LinkedIn - Integration with Talentwise, the Industry’s Leading
Background Checking Company - Integration with Job Board Posting Service Data Frenzy
- Employee MicroAvailability Calendars
- UltraMATCH MicroAvailability Searches
- UltraMATCH Radius Searches
- Live Chat Support Forum
- Text Messaging
“The functionality of iPad and iPhone technology is going to
completely change the staffing industry. As we’re seeing growth in temporary
placements, mobile technology will be key to cutting response times and
addressing client needs immediately. Our new smart phone integrations, social
media, live chat and text messaging functions address those needs straightaway
with new opportunities for our clients to capitalize on their software investment,”
says Tim Giehll, CEO Bond eEmpACT.
Proof
of the iPad’s popularity came in June, just 80 days after the device’s US
introduction, when Apple® announced the sale of its three millionth
iPad. This revolutionary product paired with the 50 million iPhones sold to
date proves there is a huge shift in how mobile phones are connecting people at
work and home with apps and content. The new iPad and iPhone functionality
of eEmpACT will begin a new chapter in staffing software mobility.
