Are you maximising the use of ETZ data in your agency?

The ‘golden age’ of software automation

Software automation is enjoying something of a ‘golden age’. The trend for using technology to automatically perform repetitive processes has been steadily transforming efficiency for businesses across industry and commerce for many years. ETZ is wired to the recruitment industry and has been solely focused on creating the best recruitment back office software since 2000.

One of the key points in the business case for adopting our timesheet software is that the benefits are not restricted to accelerating and improving  the accuracy of what is a very time consuming activity, when carried out by conventional manual processing. The advantages of ETZ go way beyond these basic efficiencies. 

When the software is performing timesheet and invoice processing it is also collecting the data and storing it in a highly structured format. This enables the information to be analysed and subjected to detailed scrutiny. 

Getting more from value from your ETZ timesheet data

Generating reports based on the data that has been processed allows your recruitment business to uncover trends and intelligence in a number of areas:

Productivity analysis

ETZ’s timesheet data provides insights into recruiter productivity. The data allows your agency to monitor the performance of recruitment consultants. Typically, this tracks the performance of your consultants, their placements and the margin generated from them. Identifying high-performing individuals and teams is instrumental to helping others improve.

KPI tracking

ETZ’s timesheet data is used to produce KPIs relating to the performance of your recruitment consultants. By setting up your consultants, branches and sectors and linking them to an assignment, this lets you measure the revenue and margin generated by each centre. This may be very useful for identifying benchmarks and setting performance targets.

Cost management

The information collected by ETZ tracks actual labour costs. Using the option to create purchase order (PO) values allows actual spend to be tracked against the value of POs. ETZ also allows recruiters to see labour costs without being distorted by the cost of expenses that contractors may have incurred.

Regulatory compliance

ETZ’s timesheet data supports compliance with Agency Worker Regulations (AWR). The software tracks contractor employment records and provides alerts to prevent breaches of AWR rules.

Detailed reporting

ETZ gives good transparency through providing some detailed reporting. Just match the rate code with the appropriate descriptions to see hours worked, expenses and overtime.
