SkillsMarket team up with Bond and Broadbean (17/10/06)

The hot topic across presenters at the September World Leader’s Conference was profit conversion ratios and how companies should be focused on finding ways to improve these.

Recruitment International’s October magazine took a look at this topic in more detail. Interestingly, they found that in an industry that has previously had its fingers burnt by technology solutions that promise the world, a number of the leading recruitment companies, including Europe’s largest specialist recruitment company, Hays IT, and the UK’s fastest growing, Red Commerce, are now turning to technologies that deliver results in order to help them:

• Reduce their overheads
• Increase their productivity
• Improve their processes

Europe’s largest specialist recruitment company
Les Duncan, UK Managing Director of Hays IT, commented: “The combination of Bond, Broadbean and SkillsMarket’s systems provides us with access to the best candidates.

Unlike many UK recruiters Hays IT are not solely reliant on advertising as a source for candidates and through SkillsMarket’s updating service has established the internal database as a valued source of candidates. It is the only cost effective solution on the market for keeping track of candidates’ availability and key skills on such a large scale.”

The UK’s fastest growing recruitment company
Anil Vithani, Operations Director of Red Commerce, commented: “Due to the tight integration between Bond, Broadbean and SkillsMarket’s suite of products, we have been able to streamline Red Commerce’s recruitment process ensuring our consultants spend more time recruiting rather than on administration.

SkillsMarket completed the product set by helping us increase the productivity of our consultants on three fronts. The first being the automatic uploading of candidates onto our database. The second being the automatic updating of candidate details whether directly or indirectly through their iProfile. Thirdly, the advanced searching techniques allowing Red Commerce to identify and deliver the perfect candidate efficiently. SkillsMarket takes the administration burden away; this can only be a good thing.”
