Scissors

Scissors is staffing agency software from New Zealand that replaces a patchwork of separate tools with one configurable app. Candidates, clients and recruiters all use it, and the agency can put its own brand on the experience. It is built for agencies supplying temporary workers.

What Scissors offers

• Applicant screening — intake and checks that workers are ready to be placed.
• Job filling — rostering and shift filling, with client self-service for bookings.
• Digital timesheets — workers submit hours and clients approve them in the app.
• Payroll exports — files prepared for payroll with fewer manual corrections.
• Branded app — a version carrying the agency's own name for candidates and clients.
• System check — a diagnostic that shows where recruitment, compliance, shift filling or payroll is slowing down.

Who it works with

Its clients are growing staffing agencies with temporary teams, including healthcare staffing. The company cites MediHire, a healthcare agency that reported filling more shifts each week after joining up screening, compliance, scheduling, timesheets and payroll in Scissors.
