What Does Software-as-a-Service Offer Modern Recruitment CRM?
You are a recruitment business. A busy recruitment business. You set your teams punishing targets, your business has demanding clients and increasing competition. You may have to look to expand into new markets and regions to survive. Your staff have to be accountable and efficient.

Our Opinion….
Bond International Software was interviewed as part of the feature. And here is a summary of what Chief Technology Officer Daniel Richardson had to say about choosing the right technologies for your business:

- Many providers, rather than design a purpose-built SaaS application, will merely offer a web based interface – an application designed for collaborative use across a local area network. As a result, functionality is restricted as the application is not designed to be made widely over the internet and performance is therefore undermined.
- Security: With the trend of global expansion growing, and the need to readily access information on candidates, vacancies and clients, recruiters often forget to enquire about the security features of the SaaS product. As a result, a concerning high number of providers therefore do not pay sufficient attention to making their applications security better.
