Your Clients Shouldn't Need You for Everything

Manual client management doesn't scale

Constant "Status" Calls

"Who's coming Thursday? Did you approve the timesheet? Where's this week's invoice? Can I see the candidates?" — Hospital HR calls 5 times per day asking questions they could answer themselves.

— Every Account Manager Ever

Manual Bottleneck

"Client needs a locum pharmacist for Saturday. They email me. I search our database. I email them 3 profiles. They pick one. I set it up. 2 hours wasted. Why can't they just search candidates themselves?"

— Healthcare Staffing Coordinator

Can't Scale

"We manage 50 hospital clients. Every one needs hand-holding for basic tasks. We're hiring more account managers just to answer emails. This doesn't scale."

— Healthcare Staffing Director

The Cost of Manual Client Management

Average weekly time spent on tasks a client portal eliminates

12 hrs
Answering "where's my worker?" questions
8 hrs
Sending candidate profiles manually
6 hrs
Processing timesheet approvals via email
4 hrs
Generating and emailing reports
30 hours/week
That's 75% of a full-time role doing work clients could do themselves

Candidate Search

Candidate Database Access

Clients browse your candidate pool with powerful filters. Request specific workers for shifts. Build their own shortlists. You control exactly which candidates are visible.

  • Advanced filters: Search by skills, location, availability, rating, classifications
  • Candidate profiles: View experience, ratings, certificates, previous shifts
  • Request preferred workers: "I want Sarah for Friday's shift" — direct requests
  • Privacy controls: Show only approved candidates, hide contact details

Time Saved: No more "send me 5 profiles" emails—clients find candidates themselves

Timesheet Workflows

Flexible Timesheet Approval Workflows

Configure how your clients interact with shift timesheets. Choose the workflow that matches your relationship—from fully automated to manual review.

  • Auto-Approve: Shifts automatically approved for trusted relationships. Perfect for high-volume hospitality placements.
  • Manual Approval: Clients review and approve hours before invoicing. Ideal for specialized healthcare placements.
  • Dispute Window: Auto-approve with 48-hour dispute period. Balance efficiency with oversight.
  • Transparent review: Reduce disputes with clear timesheet visibility and flag discrepancies before invoicing

Time Saved: Eliminate 6 hours/week processing timesheet approvals via email. Clients approve directly in the portal.

Configure Per Client:

Enable Job Posting

Allow this client to post their own shifts

Enable Candidate Search

Give access to browse your candidate database

Enable Shift Approval

Let client approve timesheets themselves

Enable Reporting

Access to analytics and reporting dashboards

Timesheet Approval Workflow

Auto-approve, Manual, or Dispute Window

💡 Pro Tip: Start new clients with just Shift Approval enabled. Add Job Posting and Candidate Search once they're comfortable with the system.

Multi-User Teams

Companies can add multiple users (HR managers, supervisors, department heads) with different permission levels.

  • Admin users can manage company settings and team members
  • Standard users can post jobs and approve shifts
  • Viewer users can see reports but can't make changes

Company Search Control

Choose whether new clients can search for existing companies or if you manage company creation manually (recommended for most staffing agencies).

Allow Search

Good for large networks where clients self-organize

Disable Search

Recommended: You manually create companies and invite users

Perfect for High-Volume Clients

Hospital Networks

20+ locations, constant staffing needs

Challenge: Hospital HR needs locum doctors and nurses weekly. Calling your agency for every shift is time-consuming for both parties.

Solution: Enable Job Posting + Candidate Search. Hospital posts shifts directly, browses your pre-approved candidate pool, requests preferred workers. You review and confirm bookings. Their workload drops 60%, your admin time drops 70%.

Healthcare Groups

Pharmacy, veterinary, optometry, GP practices

Challenge: Corporate HQ manages 20+ locations across multiple specialties (pharmacies, vet clinics, optometry, GP practices). Each location needs different specialists at different times. Centralized control but local visibility needed.

Solution: Multi-user portal—each location manager sees their shifts and can post requests for their specialty (locum pharmacists, vets, optometrists, GPs), but HQ admin approves all bookings and sees consolidated reporting across all specialties. Perfect balance of autonomy and oversight.

Large Enterprises

Complex approval workflows

Challenge: Corporate client needs detailed reporting, wants to approve all timesheets themselves, but doesn't want to search candidates (trusts your matching).

Solution: Enable only Shift Approval + Reporting. Client reviews and approves completed shifts, sees detailed analytics, but you handle all the sourcing and matching. Hybrid approach that works for both parties.
