  3. Compliance and audit controls

    I-9 and rate change history must be traceable.

  4. Reporting depth

    Margin and fill analytics at scale require flexible reporting.

How to choose staffing agency software

6 criteria · Requirements by company size · 5 red flags

Staffing economics depend on the spread between what you bill and what you pay. Choose software that makes that spread accurate and visible on every assignment.

Test one assignment end to end in a trial: job order, placement, timesheet, approval, invoice and payroll export.

  1. Job order and assignment management

    Orders, submittals and placements must tie to workers and clients without spreadsheets.

  2. Pay rate and bill rate handling

    Rates vary by client, role, overtime and shift, and errors erode margin.

  3. Timesheet capture and approval

    Late or disputed timesheets delay both pay and invoicing.

  4. Billing and invoicing

    Client invoice formats, terms and tax treatment differ.

  5. Payroll integration or native payroll

    Weekly pay cycles with many workers and states increase error risk.

  6. Onboarding and I-9 workflow

    Every new worker needs onboarding and a Form I-9, retained under federal rules.

Requirements by company size

  • Enterprises

    • Multi-branch and multi-entity structure
    • Vendor management system connections
    • Compliance controls and audit reporting

    Watch out for

    • Custom integrations priced per request
    • Slow change processes
    • Reporting that requires data exports

Red flags

  • Rates cannot be varied by client, shift and overtime without workarounds
  • Payroll is 'integrated' but timesheets must be re-keyed
  • No audit trail on I-9 or rate changes
  • Margin reporting is not available by client
  • Quote excludes onboarding, background checks or payroll modules
