Bond International Japan K.K. is to partner with grooves corp. in a new business strategy aimed at Japan's thriving human capital management industry
Commencing this month, Bond International Software (www.bondinternationalsoftware.com) and grooves corp. (http://www.grooves.com) will partner on the introduction of 'Bond Adapt' to Japan's 18,000 recruitment agencies. grooves who currently deploy their Recruiting Net portal in more than 500 staffing firms will enhance its offering with a world-leading candidate/job management platform for those agencies who are increasingly seeking the global capabilities that Bond Adapt can provide.
It is the global characteristics of Adapt (http://www.bond-jp.com/adapt.html), which include multilingual and multi-character set technologies, which the HR industry in Japan needs to embrace as it competes in the world marketplace for jobs, skilled candidates and clients.
Bond has continually invested in the research and development of Adapt since the company's inception in 1973. This web-browser based application is Bond's flagship staffing software and it is currently used globally by more than 100,000 staffing professionals in 3,500 recruitment businesses in 42 countries, including nine out of the ten top human resource service enterprises in the world.
grooves and Bond Japan will work together on therevitalisation of the human capital business field in Japan through provision of their information and systems. Bond's Asia-Pacific Manager, Tony de Liseo, comments: "Even in 2009, when private recruitment agencies' sales declined sharply because of the global financial crisis, the number of nationwide private recruitment agencies in Japan increased to 18,379* an increase of 14.2% against the previous year. It is expected to top 20,000 in 2010 as the needs of recruitment are slowly rebounding. There are great opportunities for Bond Adapt, not only with well known major foreign-based recruitment agencies, but also with medium sized agencies. The partnership with grooves will enable Bond to provide a solution that will shape the future of HR in the Japanese and Asian marketplace."
