AdaptRecruitment adoption continues across SA

Johannesburg, 29 Nov 2004

MCI, the exclusive distributor for Bond International Software in SA, today announced that the latter`s AdaptRecruitment software continues to make inroads into the local market.

Design & Media Company, which trades as Admark and is part of JSE-listed Adcorp Holdings, specialises in response handling and advertising. It installed the AdaptRecruitment software earlier this year and from a cost savings perspective with respect of its outlay on printed materials alone, expects a ROI within a two-year period.

Admark is the most recent member of the Adcorp Holdings Group to utilise Adapt within its organisation. Other users include Emmanuels and Quest Flexible Staffing Solutions.

Another user of AdaptRecruitment is KwaZulu-Natal-based Phumelela Business Consultants. Phumelela Business Consultants is a BEE company that has branches in Durban, Empangeni, Johannesburg and Richards Bay, and is focused on temporary placements especially within the hospitality industry.

"We have already completed the systems integration between our Adapt database and our payroll system," commented Mpumi Ngidi, Director of Phumelela Business Consultants. "As a direct result of this integration, all timesheet information is automatically exported into our payroll system. We are now examining the Web integration of Adapt and our Web site that will enable our candidates to submit their details via the Web site. This information will then be sent straight to the Adapt database with no manual intervention of consultants by way of capturing data. We project that this will eliminate a lot of spam mail that we are receiving due to the fact that the format in which the data is sent will be controlled by the Web form that the candidates will use to capture their data."

"In addition to the above, several other clients are in the process of AdaptRecruitment implementations," added Aliki Droussiotis, Director of MCI Consultants.

The AdaptRecruitment system enhances the productivity of both the individual and the team by seeking to eliminate the mundane and by enabling more tasks to be delegated. By focusing time on more profitable areas, Adapt adds leverage to the consultant`s professional skills and subjective judgement.

Adapt deals with the entire placement cycle from recording client, candidate and job specification details, through to searching, matching, letter generation, submissions, placements and follow up requirements. The system records details of all activities and contacts with both clients and candidates, and produces tailored standard letters, CVs and job specification details.

Other clients recently adopting AdaptRecruitment include Human Communications and Talent on Tap.
