Scissors

Scissors is software for temporary staffing agencies, created by former recruiters who first used it in their own agency. It replaces a patchwork of separate tools with one configurable app that candidates, clients and recruiters all use. Agencies can put their own branding on the app.

What Scissors offers

• Applicant screening — helps agencies vet candidates and check that workers are ready to start.
• Job filling — tools for booking and rostering temporary workers against client requests.
• Client self-service — clients can make and approve bookings themselves.
• Digital timesheets — workers submit hours and clients approve them online.
• Payroll-ready exports — approved hours are prepared so payroll needs fewer corrections.
• Branded app — an agency-branded experience for candidates and clients.
