Recruitment software provider Bond International Software has acquired the US staffing and recruiting software developer VCG for $9m (£5.62m).

Steve Russell, chief executive of Bond International Software, says: “Clearly this acquisition is an exciting moment in our company’s history and will allow us to secure ourselves a highly enviable position in the staffing software market, from both a US perspective and internationally.

“The clear synergies between the two companies and their respective offerings provide us with the confidence that no changes to brands, products, company structure or delivery of the products are required – clearly a huge advantage in any acquisition.”
