Technology:
Matrix CR is our purpose-built end-to-end procurement software, that manages the process of engaging temporary staff in a simple and streamlined manner 24/7. We provide clients with their own tailored web-based version of Matrix CR, to ensure their exact policies are reflected in the system. Creating a one-stop shop for Hiring Managers where they can raise new orders, review candidates, arrange interviews, manage placements and approve timesheets, all in one platform.
It takes 2-4 minutes to complete a brand-new order from start to finish and only workers who meet the minimum standards of skills, competencies and qualifications, as defined by the hiring managers will be shortlisted by our supply chain of recruitment agencies for selection.
