NEWRecognition module — recognise hard work and the people going above and beyond
AgencyOptixRecruitment software

Specification

AgencyOptix, in full

AgencyOptix is built specifically for UK recruitment and staffing agencies — not as a module inside a wider HR or payroll suite.

Everything below is drawn from what's actually published on this site — AgencyOptix's Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and product pages — rather than aspirational claims. Where AgencyOptix doesn't yet publish or offer something, that's stated plainly rather than glossed over.

Scope

What AgencyOptix covers

  • Recruitment and staffing agencies operating under the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003
  • Multi-branch agencies, from a single branch upwards
  • Candidate records — right-to-work, DBS and qualification tracking
  • Client and placement records, temp and permanent
  • Timesheets, calendar and cross-branch reporting
  • Incident and complaint records

What it doesn't cover

  • Payroll processing, invoicing or accounting
  • Job board listings or candidate sourcing/advertising
  • Umbrella company or contractor payment administration
  • Applicant tracking for direct (non-agency) employers

Features

Placements

A live register of every placement you run.

  • Placement profile, client and candidate in one place
  • Switch between an all-branches view and a single branch's workspace
  • Role-based visibility, so consultants only see the desks they work on

Timesheets

Build and approve timesheets without a spreadsheet.

  • Digital timesheet submission and approval, branch by branch
  • Permission-gated editing for branch managers and payroll
  • Temp and permanent placements tracked side by side

Calendar

Compliance renewals, reviews and bookings, together.

  • One calendar across every branch, filterable by consultant or type
  • Upcoming right-to-work and DBS renewals surfaced automatically
  • Event details link straight through to the candidate or client record

Candidates

A single record for every candidate on your books.

  • Right-to-work, DBS and qualification expiry tracked per candidate
  • Placement history and client feedback kept together
  • Risk flags surfaced on the dashboard the moment they're logged

Forms & Records

Digital forms built for compliance and audit.

  • Drag-and-drop form builder for registration and compliance checks
  • Draft and submitted records tracked separately, so nothing goes missing
  • A searchable record library for every form ever submitted

Clients

Keep every client relationship compliant and on record.

  • Contracts, rate cards and account owners tracked per client
  • Role-based access from Consultant to Branch Manager
  • Client profiles linked directly to placements and bookings

Incidents

Complaints and incidents, handled properly.

  • Structured incident capture from first report to close-out
  • Notes, outcomes and follow-ups attached to a single record
  • Trends surfaced so recurring issues don't go unnoticed

Reports

Everything an auditor or client asks for, ready to export.

  • Compliance and placement roll-ups across every branch
  • Filter by branch, date range or category in seconds
  • Built from the same records consultants already enter — nothing re-keyed

Regulatory alignment

Designed around the standards that govern the Conduct of Employment Agencies Regulations.

REC-aligned recordkeeping

Compliance and placement records structured around the evidence auditors ask for.

GDPR-conscious by design
