Staffing agency software

Temporary staffing agency software for shift-based teams

Scissors helps temporary staffing agencies run the work that sits between applicant screening, worker readiness, shift coordination, client approvals, timesheets, and payroll-ready exports.

It is built for agencies that have outgrown spreadsheets, shared inboxes, SMS threads, form tools, and ATS-only workflows, but still want control of their own brand, process, and client experience.

Use Scissors to manage applicants, workers, clients, jobs, documents, digital timesheets, and structured export handoff in one branded staffing agency workflow.

What staffing agency software needs to manage

A standard recruitment system can help you store candidates and track applications. Temporary staffing agency software needs to solve a wider operational problem.

Your team also needs to know who is screened, who is available, who has the right documents, who has accepted the shift, what the client has approved, and what data is ready for payroll or billing.

When those steps live in separate tools, recruiters spend too much time checking, copying, chasing, and correcting information. Scissors gives the daily staffing workflow a clearer place to run.

One branded workflow from applicant to approved timesheet

Applicant screening

Collect applicant information, manage screening stages, request references, support applicant chat, collect documents, and use PDF-backed forms and signature fields where configured.

Worker readiness

Keep worker details, documents, expiry dates, preferences, availability, and requirement checks more visible before work is offered.

Shift and job coordination

Help recruiters coordinate job details, client needs, candidate availability, and worker communication without relying only on calls, texts, and inboxes.

Client self-service

Give clients appropriate access for job requests, selected approvals, candidate visibility, timesheets, and communication while keeping recruiters in control.

Digital timesheets

Collect, review, correct, and approve timesheets digitally so payroll and billing preparation starts from cleaner information.

Payroll-ready exports

Prepare structured export data for the payroll, accounting, invoicing, or finance systems your agency already uses.

Candidate and worker experience

Give candidates and workers a clear agency-branded experience for routine actions such as availability, job communication, documents, timesheets, and expense-related workflows where configured.

Brand visibility

Keep your agency brand visible across applications, worker communication, client touchpoints, timesheets, and approvals instead of handing the experience to disconnected tools.

Built for temp, casual, contract, and shift-based staffing

Scissors is a strong fit for staffing agencies where placement is only one part of the job. The platform is designed for agencies that need to keep people ready, reachable, confirmed, and paid through a repeatable workflow.

It can support staffing teams in sectors such as education, early childhood, healthcare staffing, care, hospitality, events, security, industrial, logistics, and general temporary staffing.

Staffing agency software, recruitment agency software, or temp agency software?

Buyers use different terms. Some search for staffing agency software. Others search for recruitment agency software, employment agency software, placement agency software, temporary staffing software, or temp agency software.

The useful distinction is the workflow. If your agency mainly needs long recruitment pipelines, a standard ATS or recruitment CRM may be enough. If your agency also needs worker readiness, shift communication, client approvals, timesheets, and export handoff, you need software built around staffing operations.

Common questions about staffing agency software

Is Scissors an ATS?

Scissors includes applicant screening and applicant tracking workflows, but it is broader than an ATS. It supports staffing agency operations across applicants, candidates, workers, clients, jobs, communication, documents, timesheets, and export handoff.

Is Scissors recruitment agency software or staffing agency software?

Both phrases are used by buyers. Scissors is best suited to temporary, contract, casual, and shift-based staffing agencies where candidate and client workflows, document visibility, timesheets, and operational handoffs matter.

Does Scissors replace payroll software?

No. Scissors is not a payroll replacement. It helps agencies prepare structured timesheet, pay, billing, expense, and worker data for downstream payroll and finance systems.

Can Scissors give our agency a branded app?

Yes. Scissors supports branded app and web app experiences so candidates, workers, and clients interact through an experience aligned with your agency brand.

Scissors is especially relevant for temporary and shift-based sectors such as education, early childhood, healthcare, care, hospitality, events, security, industrial, logistics, and general staffing.
