moobob: Protecting your Temp Recruitment Agency in an Age of Change

Change is coming (… again!) 

If there’s one thing temp recruiters know, it’s that change never stops. Whether it’s IR35 pain, data protection shifts, or a brand-new AI law that came out of nowhere - the pace of change is RELENTLESS. 

And with every new rule, another layer of admin lands on your desk. Timesheets, RTW checks, payroll reconciliations, GDPR logs - it’s a full-time job just keeping your business compliant. 

Well… what is the problem? Most temp agencies are still juggling three or more systems just to keep things ticking over. That’s when mistakes creep in - and small errors can quickly turn into costly problems. 

Compliance shouldn’t be a headache 

Protecting your business shouldn’t mean drowning in admin. The smartest agencies are building compliance into their processes - not bolting it on after the fact. 

 
When automation takes care of repetitive checks, consultants stay focused on high-value work. And when every compliance step is tracked, timestamped, and reportable, you don’t just meet regulations - you sleep easier knowing you’re covered. 

Here’s how tech can take the pressure off: 

• Automate routine checks - right-to-work, IR35, and GDPR compliance all logged in one place. 

• Create instant audit trails - every document, approval, and update is traceable. 

• Link systems together – the pain of multiple systems! Stop switching between timesheets, CRM, and payroll just to verify a placement. 

• Simplify reporting - one click to pull the data you need when clients or auditors come knocking. 

AI and automation is the smart way 

AI gets a LOT of hype, but for recruiters they don’t care about gobbledegook. They just want to make placements, as quickly and efficiently as possible. 

 
Used well, AI doesn’t replace your recruiters; quite simply, it protects them.  

AI can spot missing documents, flags up expiring checks, and keeps data consistent across your tech stack. 

As moobob’s CRO, Laura Walsh, puts it: 

“Compliance and protection is just all about visibility. When you can see everything quickly – and I’m talking about compliance, payroll, shifts, RTW - you’re in control. AI and automation used well gives you that clarity, without adding more faff.” 

How to stay ahead 

1. Audit your current process - how many tools, spreadsheets, and steps does it take to stay compliant?
2. Connect your systems – can you integrate timesheets, payroll, and compliance in one place?
3. Automate alerts – do you set up expiry warnings for documents, contracts, and placements?
4. Build trust with transparency - show your clients your compliance tracking as a selling point.
5. Keep people in the loop - technology should support your consultants, not slow them down! 

Final thoughts 

Regulation is only getting tougher - but compliance doesn’t have to get harder. 

The right tech can protect your business by doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes, keeping you compliant, efficient, and focused on growth. 

At moobob, we help temp agencies simplify operations with built-in compliance, automated workflows, and real-time visibility across placements. 

Protecting your business should be simple - not stressful!
