When comparing staffing software, it's easy to get distracted by long feature lists. This checklist focuses on the handful of things that actually reduce day-to-day admin.
Matching and visibility
Can you see, at a glance, which shifts are unfilled and which workers are available — across your whole network, not just your own recruited pool?
Digital timesheets
Are hours submitted and approved in the same system, with automatic handling of unpaid breaks and different rate types (hourly vs daily)?
Compliance tracking
Is document status (right-to-work, DBS, qualifications) visible per worker, with expiry dates tracked so nothing lapses silently?
Messaging
Is communication between the relevant parties on a shift kept in one place, with a record either side can refer back to?
Multi-branch or multi-agency support
If you operate more than one branch, or want to collaborate with other agencies, does the software support that natively, or is it built around a single, isolated agency?
Reporting for payroll and admin
Can you get a clear view across all workers and shifts for payroll purposes, without manually compiling data from separate timesheets?
Score it honestly
Rather than counting total features, score software against this specific list — the items that remove real admin, not the ones that just look impressive in a demo.
How Meet Resources scores here
Meet Resources covers each of these directly: cross-agency shift and worker visibility, digital timesheets with break and rate-type handling, tracked compliance documents, in-platform messaging, and multi-branch support built in from the start.
