What is labour hire software?

Labour hire software runs the live side of a temp assignment: deploying workers to shifts, signing them in on site, capturing timesheets, and turning approved hours into pay and bill. Workhr does all of that in one system.

What is temp desk software?

Temp desk software runs the post-placement side of a recruitment agency's temp and contract business: deploying workers, capturing timesheets, and turning approved hours into pay and bill. Workhr provides that layer on top of your ATS.

Does Workhr replace my recruitment ATS?

No. Workhr keeps your ATS, such as JobAdder, and adds the deployment, timesheet and pay-and-bill layer it was never built for. Placements sync in, so there is no double entry.

Can it handle high-volume temp desks?

Yes. Workhr's scheduling is coverage-first and built to scale to hundreds or thousands of temps across many sites and clients without the roster becoming an unmanageable spreadsheet.

Does Workhr work for labour hire in New Zealand and Australia?

Yes. Workhr is built for trans-Tasman labour hire and staffing, with GPS site sign-in, rate-accurate pay and bill, and integrations with JobAdder, Astute Payroll and Xero used on both sides of the Tasman.

How does it help a temp or contract desk day to day?

It removes the admin between the placement and the invoice: GPS site sign-in, supervisor-approved timesheets, and clean weekly pay and bill, so consultants stop chasing paper and get back to placing.

Labour hire and temp desk software for the whole assignment.

Workhr runs a labour-hire or temp desk end to end: deploy workers, sign them in on site, capture timesheets, and pay and bill. For agencies that place temps and contractors, it is the layer your ATS was never built for.

Most desks are held together by a patchwork: an ATS for candidates, a spreadsheet for the roster, paper timesheets from site, and a payroll system that only sees what someone types into it. The cost is not the software, it is the admin between the pieces. Workhr runs the whole assignment, from the moment a worker is deployed to the moment they are paid and the client is billed, alongside the tools you already have.

0hours re-keyed between timesheet, payroll and invoice: the sign-in is the record

The gap between the field and the office is paid for in chase-ups and margin. Workhr closes it at the source.

LIVE DEMO, NOT A MOCKUP

The app your temps actually open.

This frame is the real Workhr worker app running on a demo tenant. Shifts, GPS sign-in, timesheets, payslips and messages live in the worker's pocket, and what lands here lands in your pay run without being typed twice.

✓ Today's shift and GPS sign-in front and centre
✓ Timesheets captured with the shift, not chased after it
✓ Payslips, messages and job alerts in the same place

01 / DEPLOY

Roster and deploy at volume

Fill shifts across sites and clients from one view, see coverage at a glance, and deploy the right worker to the right job. Built to scale to hundreds or thousands of temps without the roster turning into a spreadsheet no one trusts.

Deploy workers to shifts in a few taps
Scales to thousands of temps

02 / AFTER THE PLACEMENT

The layer your ATS doesn't cover

Your ATS owns candidates, jobs and placements. Workhr owns everything after: deploying the worker, capturing the shift, approving the timesheet, and pushing pay and bill. Keep JobAdder or your ATS; Workhr runs the live desk on top of it.

Placements sync in from your ATS
Deploy, roster and manage the assignment
No double entry between systems

03 / ON SITE

GPS site sign-in and digital timesheets

Workers sign in and out on site in the Workhr app, GPS-stamped, so you can prove who was where and when. Timesheets are captured with the shift, approved by the supervisor in the client portal, and never re-typed. Paper timesheets and end-of-week chasing disappear.

04 / PAY AND BILL

Clean pay and bill, every week

Approved hours flow to payroll and invoicing without re-keying, with rates snapshotted at the shift so a rate change never reprices a worked shift. The margin you placed at is the margin you bill. Keep Astute or Xero; Workhr feeds them clean, approved hours.
