What is workforce management software?

Workforce management software organises the records and tasks used to assign workers, record activity, review hours and prepare payment data. In a recruitment agency, it can connect workers, bookings, compliance, timesheets, payroll and invoicing within one operational process.

WFM software is not always the same as employee management or HR software. HR systems commonly focus on employment records, leave, benefits and performance. Recruso is positioned around recruitment agency workflows and agency workers.

Within RECRUSO, the verified workforce process covers:

  • Worker entry and records
  • Bookings and shift fulfilment
  • Time and attendance
  • Compliance records
  • Client approvals
  • Timesheets or work hours
  • Payroll
  • Invoicing

How Perm Recruitment Software Works

Perm recruitment software works best when each stage of the placement process shares the same data. RECRUSO connects candidate records, client activity, vacancies, shortlists, placement progress and reporting so teams do not have to keep copying information from one place to another.

Worker records and entry

Keep worker information connected to live recruitment activity

RECRUSO supports worker entry and keeps worker records connected with bookings, compliance and payment activity.

Agency staff can work from the same worker record as information moves through the recruitment process. Through the RECRUSO Worker App, agency workers can also update their personal and bank details.

Can workers update their own details?

Yes. The published RECRUSO Worker App listing states that workers can change personal and bank details through the app.

The exact fields, approval steps and staff permissions depend on the configured process.

Manage bookings and shift fulfilment from current worker records

RECRUSO connects booking and shift-fulfilment activity with current worker records, helping consultants manage assignments within the wider recruitment process.

Time and attendance

Record worker hours for agency review and payment

Agency workers can enter their start and finish times through the Work Hours screen in the RECRUSO Worker App. Those hours are then sent to the agency ready for payment.

How do workers submit their hours?

Workers enter start and finish times in the Work Hours screen. RECRUSO then sends the recorded hours to the agency.

The final product copy should also explain how the agency reviews entries, requests corrections and handles breaks, overtime or missed records.

Mobile workforce access

Give agency workers access through the RECRUSO Worker App

The RECRUSO Worker App gives agency workers mobile access to verified self-service and work-hour functions.

What can workers do in the RECRUSO app?

Workers can:

  • Update personal details
  • Update bank details
  • Enter start and finish times
  • Send recorded hours to the agency
  • Enter daily or weekly periods of availability for driver records

Compliance records

Keep workforce compliance information connected to worker activity

RECRUSO builds compliance into the recruitment process, keeping important compliance information connected to each worker and their bookings.

For example, drivers can record their daily or weekly availability directly through the Worker App. This gives agencies a clear record of working patterns and helps them manage Working Time Directive requirements alongside day-to-day workforce planning.

Potential areas for approved copy include:

  • Required worker documents
  • Expiry dates
  • Compliance status
  • Reminders
  • Role or client requirements
  • Right-to-work records
  • Driver records
  • Warning or blocking behaviour
  • Compliance reporting

Connect client approvals with workforce and payment records

Client approvals form part of Recruso’s temporary recruitment process, helping connect reviewed workforce records with later payroll and invoicing activity.

Payroll and invoicing connection

Move approved workforce records into payroll and invoicing

RECRUSO connects placements, timesheets and payroll, allowing workforce records to continue into the agency’s payment process. Its broader recruitment platform also includes invoicing.

Stage Record Main user Next step
Booking Worker assignment Consultant Hours recorded
Work completed Work hours or timesheet Worker Agency or client review
Approval Approved hours Agency or client Payroll preparation
Payroll Pay data Payroll team Worker payment
Billing Charge data Finance team Client invoice

RECRUSO also offers recruitment agencies the choice of managing payroll through the software or using an outsourced payroll service.
