Staffing and recruiting agencies

Every shift filled. Every hour on the timesheet.

For staffing, temp and recruitment agencies. Workers on assignment tell afka what happened, by voice or with a photo, in their own language. afka files it on the booking, covers the gap, keeps the client informed and gets the hours to payroll.

Got it. 38 hours match the booking, so they are with Kesler's approver and payroll. Thursday is offered to Tomás, who knows the site, and Priya will tell Kesler once he confirms. Next week's shifts are in your Talk.

Who it is for

Every agency that puts people to work.

The same afka runs the desk of an industrial staffing agency, an office temp agency, a hospitality and events agency and a permanent recruitment firm. It learns your clients, workers, rates and rules, and works in the tools you already have.

Industrial and warehouse staffing

Client orders, shift cover, check‑ins, timesheets and site rules for every booking.

Office and admin temps

Bookings, confirmations, extensions and client feedback on every placement.

Hospitality and events staffing

Last‑minute orders, briefing packs, attendance on the night and hours the next morning.

Permanent hiring

Shortlists, interview scheduling, candidate updates and client feedback on every role.

What it is worth

Give your consultants back the hours the admin takes.

Every order, cover call, timesheet and applicant reply that a consultant only passes on costs minutes they owe clients and candidates. Here is what that is worth for a typical agency, and for smaller and larger ones.

154hours back every monthConsultant time no longer spent on admin.
$5,620saved every monthAt $36.51 an hour: the US median pay of a human resources specialist (BLS, May 2025), before benefits.

50 shifts a day

About 53 hours and $1,940 back every month.

145 shifts a day

About 154 hours and $5,620 back every month.

400 shifts a day

About 425 hours and $15,510 back every month.

An estimate, not a promise: a working month of 22 days, a full‑time month of 160 hours, and the time a person spends today on work afka can take over. The hourly cost is the US median pay of a human resources specialist (BLS, May 2025), before benefits. Once afka is running, your weekly report shows the hours it actually saved.

What it takes off the plate

Four jobs that fill an agency desk every day.

Each one arrives as a client email, a call from a worker, a photo of a timesheet or a new application, which is exactly where afka works.

Client orders

Overnight orders filled before the first shift

afka reads the client's order, offers the shifts to available workers who know the site and the role, and tells the client how many are confirmed before anyone in the office is awake.

Shift cover

A gap covered before the client notices it

When a worker drops out, afka offers the shift to the best available match, confirms the replacement and tells the client only that the shift is full.

Timesheets

Hours checked against the booking, then paid and billed

Workers send a photo or say their hours. afka matches them to the booking and the client's approval, flags what does not fit and sends the rest to payroll and invoicing.

Candidates and interviews

Every applicant answered, the best ones in front of the client

afka reads every application against the brief, builds the shortlist for your recruiter, books the interviews in both calendars and replies to every candidate, not only the ones who made it.

Talk

Your workers are spread across fifty sites. Now they all reach one desk.

One or two people in the office connect the tools once. After that every worker opens the join link in their assignment confirmation and speaks to afka in their own language: check in, report a problem, send the timesheet, ask about next week.

Priced per workspace with unlimited seats, so every worker on every assignment can use Talk without a licence of their own.

A day with afka

From the first order to the last timesheet.

What an agency with 145 shifts a day looks like when afka does the repetitive part.

OrdersFive in the morning

Orders that came in overnight are offered, confirmed and reported to the clients before the first shift.

Shift startSix in the morning

Workers check in by voice. A late bus or a no‑show reaches the site lead and the cover pool at once.

InterviewsTwo in the afternoon

Shortlists go to clients, interviews are booked in both calendars and every applicant hears back.

TimesheetsSeven in the evening

Hours are matched to bookings and sent on. The owner reads one message: filled, paid and waiting.

Getting started

Working on Monday's shifts, not next quarter.

No new software for the workers and no project for the office. Connect what you already use, add the join link to every assignment confirmation, and read the first report the same evening.

Connect the office

Your inbox, your chat and the tools you already pay for, in a few clicks. afka reads what is there and learns your clients, workers and rates.

Add the join link to every confirmation

Each worker taps it once, joins your agency and starts talking. A new starter on Friday is on Talk before Monday's first shift.

Read the first report tonight

Which shifts are filled, which timesheets need a look and which orders wait for you, in one message every evening.

On assignment

Talk to afka from the site.

The same Talk app as on our home page, on every worker's own phone. They speak, afka answers out loud, and the work lands where the office sees it.

  • A real conversation in their own language. It asks when something is unclear and already knows your clients, sites and shifts.
  • The small plus at the top adds a photo or a file. afka reads it and files it on the booking.
  • The same rules as in the office. Anything that spends money waits for a person.

In the office

Email and the tools you already pay for.

The office works with afka where it already works: email, Microsoft Teams, Slack or Google Chat, and the dashboard. Your tools connect in a few clicks.

Plus your applicant tracking, scheduling and payroll software through managed connectors. If what you use is not there, afka writes the connection itself.

Questions

Before your first week with afka.

How do workers get started?+

Each worker gets their own afka account under your agency, at no extra cost because seats are unlimited. You add the join link to the assignment confirmation you already send; the worker taps it on the phone, signs in and Talk installs on the home screen. A short walkthrough on the first day covers how to check in, send a timesheet and ask about next week.

Our workers change every week. Is that a problem?+

No. New workers join with the same link, and when an assignment ends the worker stays in your pool for the next one or is removed in one click. Their timesheets and reports stay on the booking.

Can workers share one phone or one login?+

No, and it matters. afka knows who is speaking, so each worker needs their own account: their shifts, their hours and their language stay theirs, and nobody can act with the owner's permissions. Talk works on their own phone.

Does it work with our applicant tracking and payroll software?+

Yes. Common tools connect in a few clicks through managed connectors. If yours is not there, afka writes the connection itself.

Our workers speak many languages. Does that matter?+

No. Each worker talks to afka in their own language, in as many languages as the models handle, and your consultants read everything in theirs.

What does it cost?+

A plan per workspace with unlimited seats, plus credits for the work it does. Every worker on every assignment can use Talk.

Fill the shift. Pay the hours. Bill the client.
