Recruitment Management Software
for Manufacturing Agencies
in Manchester (M73)

Manchester’s M73 manufacturing corridor hosts over 1,200 firms ranging from aerospace component makers to food‑process plants, and more than 250 specialist recruitment agencies compete for the same skilled labour pool. Agency owners in this hub report that 68 % of their revenue is tied to short‑term contracts, meaning they must juggle rapid candidate placement with rigorous local compliance checks such as the Agency Workers Regulations (AWR) audits, Right‑to‑Work verification for EU and non‑EU workers, GDPR‑mandated data handling, and HMRC payroll reporting for agency‑payrolled staff. Because each client often requires a separate audit trail, agencies spend an average of 12 hours per week compiling evidence for HSE and local authority inspections, which directly cuts into billable hours.

Our all‑in‑one platform replaces fragmented spreadsheets, email threads, and legacy ATS licences with a single dashboard that automates timesheet capture, generates compliant invoices, and triggers real‑time Right‑to‑Work alerts tied to the Home Office API. Integrated CRM tools match candidates to Manchester‑specific job codes (e.g., B30‑Machining, C15‑Logistics) in seconds, while a built‑in WhatsApp hub lets recruiters coordinate shift swaps and client updates without leaving the system, reducing manual messaging by up to 85 %. The software also logs every compliance action—AWR notices, GDPR consent, HMRC PAYE submissions—so agencies can produce audit‑ready reports at the click of a button, freeing recruiters to focus on filling the city’s 3,400+ weekly manufacturing vacancies.
