KPI Recruiting clients and candidates now even more Joined Up
Many UK business sectors, including food production, warehousing, logistics, hospitality and driving, have relied heavily on temporary workers to manage varying demands, seasonal peaks, and unexpected disruptions. Administering temporary workforces has often been a complicated and time-consuming activity with pressure on maintaining quality and preserving margins whilst also increasing efficiencies. KPI has introduced more new technology to create seamless staff hiring experience for clients and candidates.
KPI's tech makes temp staff hiring easy.
KPI is now rolling out new technology to provide clients who employ large numbers of temporary staff with the option of a cloud-based platform to hire staff. The system’s advanced scheduling software enables clients to order staff online to fit their unique shift patterns and automates notifications to workers chosen for the shifts by KPI. It allows staff to accept or decline proposed shifts at the touch of a button via smartphone messaging and for clients to do the same.
Part of the automation also ensures that personnel are properly vetted and classified in line with regulations as part of the onboarding process. Real-time compliance matching through facial recognition reduces the administrative burden and ensures that shifts are filled quickly and efficiently.
End-to-end visibility of staff supply chain
The new system lets businesses control recruiting agencies with a single platform which offers end-to-end visibility of the whole staff supply chain. “The functionality allows shift managers, departments and company cost analysts to easily find their optimum performers and eliminate excess spending,” said KPI’s Sales Director Joe Jardine. “It’s great for clients because it gives them less admin, potentially fewer suppliers plus stronger buying power and improved relationships with better performing agencies.”
Programmed expenditure & compliance management
KPI’s new technology also provides spend visibility and helps identify potential compliance risks. Costs and rules for managing multi-layered rate structures can be uploaded to the system. Automated timesheets increase accuracy, generate direct cost savings, and reduce labour-intensive paperwork.
Automation also helps with security and compliance to help ensure drivers stay within legal numbers of hours worked. By tracking and documenting daily, weekly, and fortnightly drive time, mandatory breaks and rest times, the system ensures that drivers will not be booked for shifts that would cause them to violate regulations.
Enhanced retention and staff management
“With real-time visibility into workforce performance, supervisors can observe attendance and productivity metrics. It enables quicker decision-making where management intervention is required and fosters better relationships with shift workers and recruitment agencies,” said Joe. “The customers who have adopted the new software so far are experiencing more reliability, faster problem-solving and reduced admin, so it’s great news for candidates and clients.”Want to know more about how KPI Recruiting's tech can make your temporary staff hiring easier?
