Temp worker reference checking — fast, compliant references for every activation
Temp workers need references before deployment but placements move fast. Manual reference processes create a bottleneck that loses placements to agencies who move quicker. RefAssure returns most temp worker references in 1 to 3 days with automated chasing — fast enough for most temp placement timescales. From 99p, no subscription.
The temp staffing reference checking challenge
Temp placements operate on short timescales. A client needs cover tomorrow. A candidate is available. The placement is agreed in hours. References that take a week to complete lose the placement to a competitor who can move faster, or result in the worker starting before references are complete — creating a compliance gap. RefAssure's automated chasing and 1 to 3 day average turnaround makes compliant reference checking achievable within most temp placement timescales without compromising the speed that temp staffing demands.
High-volume temp onboarding — cohorts and campaigns
Temp staffing agencies frequently onboard workers in cohorts rather than individually — a logistics client needs 30 warehouse staff by Monday, a hospitality client needs 20 event staff for the weekend. Cohort onboarding in a manual process creates a reference checking bottleneck that delays the whole cohort. RefAssure processes all 30 or 20 references simultaneously, each with its own automated chasing sequence, completing them in parallel rather than sequentially.
Temp worker references for industrial, commercial and multi-sector placements use standard employment reference templates by default. For temp workers in regulated sectors — care, healthcare, education — sector-specific templates with mandatory safeguarding and professional conduct questions are applied instead. The same platform handles both, with consultants selecting the appropriate template for each temp worker at setup. Credits never expire — ideal for agencies with seasonal temp demand peaks. From 99p per reference.
