# Recruiting & staffing operations — software and guides

Resources for recruitment and staffing agency managers: an all-in-one platform for jobs, candidates, clients, placements, consultants and time, plus operations guides covering automation, ATS, CRM and back-office architecture.

## Dedicated platform

### ATS and CRM for recruitment agencies, from client to placement

Manage companies, contacts, searches and candidates alongside commercial engagements. Connect selection, placements and fee terms without confusing financial records with statutory invoice issuance.

## Where the time goes in an agency

A recruiter's time disappears into tasks that require no professional judgement: copying data between systems, chasing approvals, coordinating diaries, remembering pending assessments and reconstructing the state of a search for the Monday meeting. That is the block that needs to disappear.

The measure that best predicts the problem is how many times the same data gets retyped in a complete cycle. In an agency with separate tools, a single contract placement can require entering the same person into the applicant system, the CRM, the assignment sheet, the time record and the billing template.

- Posting, confirmations and reminders automated
- One identity for the person across the whole journey
- The state of each search without hand-built reports
- Closing reason from a defined, reusable list

## Permanent placement and contract staffing are not the same business

Two models with different operational demands live under the same roof. A permanent placement ends with a fee and a guarantee period; contract staffing begins right there and generates hours, approvals, recurring invoicing and per-consultant margin control for months.

Software that is excellent for the first can be useless for the second, and mixed agencies tend to discover that difference late. Where there is a contracting component, the operations layer stops being optional: without it the economic result is known weeks late and always in a parallel spreadsheet.

- Fee, guarantee and clawback causes clearly defined
- Assignments with rate, cost and margin per consultant
- Hours and approvals connected to the client contract
- Recurring invoicing without manual collection
