What is staffing software?
Staffing software helps a recruitment or staffing agency manage temporary workers, client requirements, bookings and the records connected with shift-based work. Depending on the provider, it may support the process from an open staffing requirement to worker assignment, completed hours, approval, payroll and client billing.
RECRUSO is staffing software for recruitment agencies. This page centres on shift fulfilment, with wider temporary recruitment, workforce, time, payroll and invoicing activity shown as connected parts of the process.
Software categories and workflows vary between providers. Buyers should compare the functions and record stages used by their own agency.
A staffing process may include:
- Receive or record a client staffing requirement.
- Review relevant worker records.
- Check applicable availability, suitability and compliance information.
- Assign a worker to a booking.
- Review the fulfilment position.
- Respond to changes or staffing gaps.
- Record the completed work.
- Review or approve worked hours.
- Continue the approved record into payroll and invoicing.

Manage shift fulfilment from staffing demand to worker assignment
Shift fulfilment is the process of moving from a client staffing requirement to the required worker position for a booking. It includes more than assigning one worker. The agency may also need to record demand, review worker information, monitor coverage, respond to changes and connect completed work with later time and payment records.
1.
Demand
The client requirement records the work that needs to be covered, including approved booking details.
2.
Booking
The requirement is held as a staffing booking within the recruitment process.
3.
Worker assignment
A selected worker is connected with the client requirement.
4.
Shift fulfilment
The agency reviews whether the required staffing position has been reached.
5.
Shift completion
The work takes place and the relevant hours are recorded.
6.
Approval and payment
The completed work record continues into approval, payroll and invoicing.
RECRUSO connects bookings, workers and later work records within its temporary recruitment process. The exact stages, status names and actions must reflect the live product.
Record client staffing requirements as bookings
A staffing booking gives the agency a defined client requirement to fill. It keeps the demand connected with the worker assignment, fulfilment position and completed work record.
Once approved, the booking record can give the agency a clear requirement against which worker assignments and later work records can be reviewed.
A booking may need to record:
- client
- site or workplace
- role and required skills
- number of workers required
- date, start and finish time
- pay and charge information
- booking notes
Respond when staffing requirements change
Temporary staffing requirements can change before or after a worker has been assigned. The relevant booking and assignment records should show the current position and the actions taken by the agency.
Common scenarios may include:
- the client increases or reduces the number of workers required
- the booking time changes
- the site changes
- the role requirement changes
- a worker becomes unavailable
- a worker declines or cancels
- the client cancels the booking
- an assignment needs to be replaced
- the requirement remains partly filled
- a completed work record is queried
Carry approved staffing records into payroll and invoicing
RECRUSO connects placements, timesheets and payroll and includes invoicing within its temporary recruitment process. This keeps the completed staffing record connected with the later pay-and-bill stages. This could include:
- Client staffing requirement
- Worker assignment
- Completed shift
- Worked hours
- Approval
- Payroll preparation
- Worker payment
- Client invoice
