Example. This case study is an illustration of how a firm like this could work in MSMEPulse. It isn't a real customer, and it makes no claims about results.

Illustration: an MSMEPulse workspace with projects from ready-made templates for recruitment agencies.

The firm

Ten recruiters fill permanent roles for technology and retail companies, and run contract staffing for a few large clients.

What made the work hard

  • Placement fees were invoiced weeks after joining.
  • Guarantee periods were forgotten.
  • Contract staffing compliance was assembled at the last minute.

How work moves through MSMEPulse, from the first enquiry to payment.

How they set up MSMEPulse

  • Chose Recruitment & Staffing at signup, with permanent hire and contract staffing templates.
  • Made each open role a project, with the fee milestone on joining.
  • Ran deployed staff's monthly cycle as a contract staffing project per client.

The templates for Recruitment & Staffing in MSMEPulse: Permanent hire (search), Contract staffing (monthly).

A typical month

Each role moves through brief, sourcing, interviews, offer and joining. The fee is invoiced the day the candidate joins, and the guarantee end date is noted. For contract staffing, client-approved timesheets, payroll, statutory payments and the compliance pack follow a fixed monthly cycle before the invoice.

What changes

  • Fees are invoiced on the joining date.
  • Guarantee periods are tracked.
  • Contract staffing compliance is routine, not a scramble.
