Recruitment Management Software
for Construction Agencies
in Manchester (M77)

Manchester’s M77 construction sector is one of the fastest‑growing recruitment markets in the UK, with over 1,200 active staffing firms handling everything from high‑rise civil engineering projects to heritage restorations. Agency owners in this postcode report an average turnover of £4.3 million per year, yet 68 % cite “regulatory overload” as a barrier to scaling, especially when juggling the Agency Workers Regulations (AWR) for agency‑workers’ rights, Right‑to‑Work verifications for EU and non‑EU hires, GDPR‑mandated data protection for candidate portfolios, and HMRC’s real‑time information (RTI) payroll reporting. These mandates require daily audits, separate document storage, and multiple software licences, inflating overheads by up to 15 %.

Our all‑in‑one platform replaces that fragmented stack with a single ATS + CRM that automatically cross‑checks Right‑to‑Work documents against Home Office APIs, flags AWR entitlement gaps, and encrypts GDPR data while generating compliant HMRC payroll feeds. The built‑in timesheet engine syncs with mobile WhatsApp chats, turning informal coordinator messages into billable hours and instant invoices, cutting invoicing cycle time from 14 days to under 48 hours. Recruiters can match candidates to Manchester‑specific trades (e.g., steel‑fixers, M&E fitters) in seconds, while client managers coordinate site‑specific updates via WhatsApp groups that are logged in the CRM for audit trails. The result is a 30 % reduction in admin hours and a clear compliance audit trail that satisfies both local council inspections and national regulators.
