How it all began…

The vision shown by co-founders, Matthew Sanders & Michael Campbell, is still as clear today as it was 10 years ago. They understood the difficulty of managing temporary agency labour spend, in a time when the recruitment industry remained largely unregulated. As the industry has evolved, so has de Poel. The result is an unrivalled business model that provides optimum value to its clients, and a contemporary company that prides itself on putting the interests of its staff first.

As with all great ideas, theirs was simple; allow organisations to reduce recruitment costs for temporary agency workers, whilst adding value and transparency to a complicated, unruly and costly recruitment process. The de Poel solution originally incorporated three main steps:

• Standardising and optimising rates
• Gaining visibility and control
• Managing the indirect costs

This was done effectively through the development of e-tips®, de Poel’s unique electronic timesheet and invoice processing system, which not only helped regulate and standardise direct recruitment costs to clients, but underpinned the service solution by streamlining administration and providing real-time Management Information.

With an evolving economic climate and continuous emphasis on legislative compliance, the solution has now been enhanced to include:

• Saving money
• Streamlined administration
• Visibility and control
• Legislative compliance
• Cashflow
