How staffing agencies win
Fill rate is everything
Clients stay loyal to the agency that fills the shift first and keeps the paperwork clean.
Compliance tail
Right-to-work documents and certifications must be complete before anyone starts.
Bench management
Available workers drift if they are not re-engaged quickly at assignment end.
Praktivo connects requisition to redeployment: the shift request, the candidate outreach, the compliance checklist, the day-before reminder and the next-assignment offer.

Staffing leaks
Where agencies lose fill rate and margin
Every unfilled shift is a margin hit and a nudge toward a competitor.
Common leaks
- Short-notice shifts that go unfilled because outreach is manual.
- Workers who cannot start on time because documents are incomplete.
- Available candidates who drift while sitting on the bench.
- No-shows with no warning that could have been caught the day before.
- Compliance expiries discovered only when the client asks.
- Clients who never hear about fill performance, so competitors get the next call.
Illustrative: a shift nobody filled
- 7:00 AMClient requests same-day cover for three workers
- 9:00 AMCoordinator is busy; outreach starts late
- 11:00 AMOnly one candidate reached; others already working
- 12:00 PMClient calls a competitor for the remaining two
- ResultPartial fill, weakened relationship

Human in control
What stays with your coordinators
The agent fills and documents; your team decides who works where.
- All placement and compliance decisions.
- Client rates, pay rates and commercial terms.
- Final approval of any worker submission.
- Handling disputes, incidents or escalations.
- Any worker or client who asks for a person.
Screening and document tracking only
The agent confirms availability against your criteria and tracks documents to a checklist. It never certifies compliance it cannot verify — incomplete items are flagged to a person.
No fabricated requirements or rates. A coordinator owns every placement.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Does the AI place workers?
No. It fills shifts, collects compliance documents and keeps candidates warm. Actual placement and compliance decisions stay with your team.
Can it fill shifts at short notice?
Yes. When a client posts a shift, the agent reaches the right qualified candidates by SMS and confirms availability fast, then books them in for your approval.
How does compliance document collection work?
The agent requests right-to-work documents, certifications and onboarding forms through a tracked checklist, chases them politely and flags anything incomplete.
Will it work with our staffing software?
We build around common tools and general CRMs and are honest where a native connection is unavailable.
How do you avoid over-messaging candidates?
Candidates are matched by skills and availability, messages are opt-out friendly, and sequences stop the moment someone responds or asks not to be contacted.
Can it help redeploy workers between assignments?
Yes. As assignments end, the agent re-engages available workers for the next suitable shift or role.
