Bond International Software named Tim Giehll as group CEO. In addition, Bond and TempBuddy announced a partnership that will include the integration of TempBuddy’s mobile offering with Bond software.

The announcement shows the ecosystem is continuing to evolve and will allow access to a more integrated suite of products for some staffing firms.

Giehll returns to Bond to lead the company. Giehll had served at Bond as global chief marketing and strategy officer in the US before serving as chief revenue officer at staffing software firm Avionté and, most recently, at freelancer management system provider Field Nation, where he served as executive VP of operations.

Giehll will oversee the global operations of Bond in his new role. And although Bond and TempBuddy will be partnering closely, they will retain separate corporate structures. While Giehll will be group CEO of Bond, Roderick Smyth will continue to serve as CEO of TempBuddy.

TempBuddy is an online tool for managing contingent workers. It allows workers pick their jobs via their smart phones. It then enables workers to check in from the worksite using a smart phone, without need for a time clock, and verifies the worker is on site using GPS from the workers’ smart phones.

Private equity firm Symphony Technology Group acquired Bond International Software on Nov. 4. Symphony also acquired Ireland-based TempBuddy on Nov. 23.

In an interview Wednesday, Giehll said TempBuddy will integrate closely with Bond software, although staffing firms using other software products will still be able to integrate it into their systems, including home-grown software systems.
