“ Hays is a global business operating across 33 countries so
communication between our 8,000 consultants, candidates and clients
via the Internet is a key business issue. The latest Adapt system brings
us multi-lingual capabilities, sophisticated integration options, and
social media enablement combined with scalability through a web-based
delivery model. This provides a platform to enable business options that
historically could never be imagined, let alone realised...”
Steve Weston, Group Technology Director, Hays
“ We wanted the ability to define best practice through one global
process but retain the flexibility to adjust for local functionality and data
requirements. We chose Bond because they had the ability to configure
and integrate to our other systems and to scale to our size with their Adapt
platform. We are now seeing benefits of our investment where we have
deployed. As we continue the further rollout, I expect to see extensive cost
savings and productivity improvements over additional deployments.”

Migration Options:
Simple Migration
If you have a very small amount of data to transfer then you may be eligible for a simple data transfer. You will need to provide a single CSV file or Excel file for Bond’s data transfer engineers to evaluate. If it is suitable then the data transfer can typically be completed in less than a day, straight to live.
Advanced Migration
The Data Transfer Team provides three increasingly comprehensive data transfer levels:
Level 1 includes main candidate details (including contact details and a CV), client details and contact details.
Level 2 then adds job details, assignments and work histories.
Level 3 then adds shortlists and interviews. All three levels allow for your audit trail (and notes) to be added to the records being imported. Our conversion team evaluate the data you want to have imported to ensure it will fit into the chosen level. If acceptable, they will perform a pre-live migration which will be tested and passed to you to undertake your own testing. Once approved, the team await final approval to perform the live data transfer.
Bespoke Migration
The Data Migration team can offer a bespoke data transfer if required. We will work with you to identify the fields that need importing, including whether additional fields need to be added to store the data. Our conversion team evaluate the data you want to have imported to ensure it will fit into the chosen level. If acceptable they will perform a pre-live migration which will be tested and passed to you to undertake your own testing. Once approved, the team await final approval to perform the live data transfer.
Data migrations can be a challenging task and we understand how important it is for
our clients to seamlessly migrate their legacy data into Adapt. To ensure this happens,
Bond employs talented people with years of experience to help our clients protect and

“The deployment of Bond Adapt throughout our organisation will be instrumental
in supporting our aggressive business expansion plans. Indeed, had we selected a
recruitment system that did not offer such flexibility and scalability, I believe that we
would struggle to continue our transition into a large, seamless, multi-national business.
The centralised database from Bond Adapt is fantastic. Through the introduction of the
software, we are able to seamlessly draw on candidate records from our other countries of
operation and use these for placements in other countries. We have high ambitions for the
future and with such a strong infrastructure supporting us, we are able to realistically aim
to grow our user count by 300% within the next three years.”
Daniel Wrangsjö, Project Manager, Academic Work
“ After a period of consultancy and evaluation, there were a number of key differentiators
that made the final decision for us. Most important was the approach taken to
customisation. Most software packages claimed to be adaptable, but where Bond
Adapt was superior was in the ability to configure any area of the software or workflow
immediately, and according to our precise business needs. Bond’s competitors on
the other hand were able to configure in some respects immediately, but for other
requirements we would have had to wait until their core software was developed and the
next version was put on general release. It felt more restrictive from a timing perspective,
but more importantly the ideas and innovations that we will want to implement would
then be available to everyone. Without Bond Adapt it seemed to us that there would be no
competitive edge.”
