The work that happensafter someone says yes.

Everybody sells you something for the front of the desk. Almost nobody touches the part that actually eats your week: the timesheets, the compliance packs, the commission nobody agrees on, and the same candidate typed into three systems. This is the part we go deepest on.

What it actually does.

All of this is running in production for agencies right now. None of it required anybody to change how they already work.

  1. The Friday chase is over

    Consultants used to spend the end of every week chasing paper timesheets across dozens of sites. Now a consultant fills in one daysheet. Every timesheet goes to the right person on its own, and the ones that do not come back get chased without anybody remembering to do it.

    Takes off your desk Most of Friday, every week

  2. Compliance packs in one press

    Every new starter used to mean building the AWR, CIS and KID paperwork by hand, one document at a time, and hoping the right version went out. It is now a single press. The pack is generated, sent to the candidate, and recorded against them.

    Takes off your desk An afternoon per starter, and the audit risk

  3. Commission nobody has to argue about

    Tiered quarterly commission, split and resourced deals credited correctly in real time, and dropout clawbacks calculated the right way rather than the convenient way. Every month it produces the branded payrun document accounts actually needs.

    Takes off your desk The monthly row with the billing team

  4. Nobody forgets the candidate

    A job gets confirmed and the worker hears about it immediately, by text, without a consultant adding it to a list of things to do later. For temporary desks this is the difference between a filled shift and a no-show.

    Takes off your desk The shift that went unfilled because nobody rang

  5. Roles go live on their own

    Vacancies reach the job boards without anyone pasting the same advert into four different sites and getting the salary wrong on one of them.

    Takes off your desk An hour per role, and the typos

  6. Two systems that finally agree

    Most agencies run a project board and a candidate database that hold two different versions of the truth, and a consultant somewhere is working off the wrong one. We keep them in step so there is only one version.

    Takes off your desk Entering the same person twice

  7. Invoices that go out on time

    Invoice generation and validation, with discrepancies flagged rather than discovered at month end. Late invoices are a cash flow problem long before they are an admin problem.

    Takes off your desk The gap between placing and being paid

This is the half of recruitment nobody builds for.

The reason is simple: it is unglamorous, every agency does it slightly differently, and you cannot sell the same thing twice. Which is exactly why it is still being done by hand in most agencies, and exactly why it is where the hours actually are. We deep dive into how your team works and build against whichever of these is costing you the most.
