Overview
The challenge
A staffing agency needs its recruitment pipeline and its own back office in one place, and needs to change its process without waiting on a developer.
Our approach
The recruitment pipeline a staffing agency actually runs on, with the back office attached: recruiters and BDMs move candidates from submission to placement, while attendance, leave, payslips and an approvals workflow keep the agency itself running. Statuses are configurable, so the agency shapes the process to how it works.

Capabilities
What it does

Attendance with breaks, leave requests and types, holidays, payslips and expenses, plus a per-user time & leave analysis.
Sensitive edits go through an approvals queue, so changes are reviewed instead of landing silently.
