Time tracking software for staffing and recruitment agencies

Where agencies lose time and margin

Time capture

Getting accurate timesheets takes too much work

Whether you're managing placements or recruiting permanent hires, hours arrive in different formats. Some people log time in digital timesheets, while others send spreadsheets or messages, leaving your team chasing missing entries before payroll or billing can move forward.

Getting accurate timesheets takes too much work
Billable vs non-billable visibility

Too much work never reaches the invoice

Billable and internal hours quickly blur together. Between sourcing, interviews, onboarding, internal meetings, and admin work, it's hard to see what can be billed, where time is actually spent, and how your team's capacity is really being used.

Too much work never reaches the invoice
Client approval

Client approvals become billing bottlenecks

Even with accurate timesheets, invoicing can't begin until the client approves the hours. A single delayed approval can hold up billing for days, postpone payments, and leave completed work waiting to generate revenue.

Client approvals become billing bottlenecks
Business visibility

Business decisions rely on incomplete data

Hours, labor costs, approvals, and invoices often live in different tools. Without one place to see your time tracking data, it's difficult to get clear answers about workload, client profitability, team performance, and overall business results.

Time tracking features built for staffing and recruitment agencies

Log time one consistent way across your agency

Hours are logged using the mobile app or cloud-based online timesheets, with every entry linked to the right client, project, and task.

Instead of chasing hours across spreadsheets, messages, and paper timesheets, your team gets consistent time records from the start.

Log time one consistent way across your agency

Separate billable work from internal time

Assign every time entry to a billable or non-billable work type, making client work easy to separate from sourcing, interviews, onboarding, and other internal activities.

Billing and cost rates give you a clear view of labor costs and profitability.

Approve hours without email back-and-forth

Clear submitted, approved, and rejected statuses show what still needs attention before billing.

What staffing and recruitment firms say about actiTIME

Straightforward and reliable

We've been using actiTIME for quite a while now, and it has quietly become part of our daily routine. Time entries, approvals, and reports are all in one place, which has made everyone's job easier.

Emma Collins Staffing Manager

4.6 rating on Capterra

Easy to roll out

We expected people to push back on another system, but that never really happened. The interface is straightforward, and everyone got used to logging their hours much faster than we expected.

Jason Murphy Managing Director

4.6 rating on G2 Crowd

Saves time every week

The biggest difference for us is how much less admin work there is. Managers approve timesheets quickly, and preparing invoices no longer turns into a weekly project.

Claire Donovan Recruitment Team Lead

4.6 rating on Capterra

Helpful reports

We originally adopted actiTIME just for time tracking, but the reporting turned out to be just as valuable once we started using it regularly.
