Our journey from 1972 to today shows how we’ve adapted, and now, technology is at the heart of everything we do. Managing Staff:
Managing Work:
Registering for Work:
Interviewing Candidates:
Our Client Portal App helps employers easily track their staff, expenses, and job details online instead of using paper timesheets. It also provides downloadable reports.
The Candidate Portal App helps employees stay connected, update their information, and clock in/out of their jobs using their personal devices. This makes work more efficient and accurate.
We prefer face to face but you can register online which is fast and convenient. We will then follow up with a video call.
We prefer in-person interviews, but video calls are also an option when needed. This offers a quick, flexible, and cost-effective way to conduct interviews.
