Bond International Software's eEmpACT v16 Debuts with New iPhone and iPad Integration as Staffing Industry Reports Record Growth Figures

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, October 06, 2010 (Press-News.org) 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.
