01 / 10The Ground Truth

Temp staffing is not a clean workflow.

Jobs change after they're booked. Workers disappear at 5:40am. Clients text at 11pm and expect it handled.

Most staffing software was built for clean workflows — one hire, one desk, one polite timeline. Your business is forty warm bodies at a loading dock by six and an invoice out before your client forgets how good you were. TempGuru was built inside that mess — by a founder who owned staffing agencies and answered those 5:40am texts herself.

And the mess has numbers: the average temp stays about ten weeks, and industry turnover runs around 400% a year — you re-recruit your entire workforce every quarter. Most software pretends that isn't true. Ours is built for it.

Quick answer

Temporary staffing software manages assignments end to end — job orders, worker pools, dispatch, SMS, timesheets, invoicing — whether the placement runs one shift or a full year. TempGuru Pro is that system, with AI decision support, for $424/month.

Open your assistant with the question already loaded — a factual briefing on what Pro is, and a fair question about whether it fits a temp agency like yours.
Each button opens a fresh AI session preloaded with a full TempGuru Pro briefing and the question: “Is TempGuru Pro a good choice for a temporary staffing agency modernizing its operations?” The facts do the arguing.
02 / 10The Map

Seven steps. One system.

Every temp job on earth moves through the same seven steps. Each one is a place your week goes to die when it lives in a different tool.

Order, fill, dispatch, clock-in, timesheet, invoice, pay. Run them in five tools and you become the integration — retyping, reconciling, apologizing. Run them in one and the data walks itself from the client's text to the paid invoice.

Rule

If a step lives in a spreadsheet, that step is where you'll lose Saturday.

03 / 10What You're Buying

Pro is not a feature list. It's your operation, running.

Guru is your client's entire interface, by text — they place orders, ask who's coming, change details, approve timesheets, and ask about invoices without ever logging into anything. The staff portal lets workers see open shifts and raise their hands — interest and availability flow in instead of being chased down. AI recommendations rank those hands by reliability and history; your coordinator approves every assignment. The mobile app clocks workers in with geofence and selfie verification. The Client Hub puts it all under your logo for clients who like dashboards — Guru covers the ones who don't. QuickBooks sync and e-signature close the books without a second job.

And because software alone never fixed an agency: Pro ships with an operator-written AI-for-staffing playbook and a cohort of agencies working the same problems.

Plainly

What you're buying is a different Tuesday.

04 / 10The Clock

From text to staffed.

A real order shape, on Pro: client needs six more hands for tomorrow at 6:47 on a Tuesday night.

Guru confirms and files the order in a minute. The AI ranks fourteen available workers four minutes later. Your coordinator approves six from the couch — dinner isn't cold yet. Workers confirm in the app; the client watches the roster fill in their Hub. Twenty-four minutes, no phone tree, no spreadsheet.

The point

Speed isn't a luxury in temp staffing. It's the product.

05 / 10The Math

Fire the stack. Keep the work.

Mid-market agencies don't lack software. They run five subscriptions stitched together with exports and prayer.

Staffing ATS/CRM (Bullhorn, Avionté)$800–$2,500
Scheduling & time clock$200–$400
Time tracking~$500
Client portal$50–$300
E-signature (3 seats)~$135
The stitched-together stack$1,685–$3,835
TempGuru Pro, annual$424 + 2.5%

The service fee is simple: $10,000 in billed shifts = $250. It scales with revenue you invoiced, not seats you might use.

06 / 10The Brains

AI recommends. You decide.

Every AI feature in Pro is decision support, not automation. That's a design position, not a disclaimer.

The fill is two-sided. Workers raise their hands in the staff portal; the model ranks the hands it can defend — availability, reliability score, history on this kind of shift — and shows its reasoning. No worker is assigned by a machine. The report builder turns plain-English asks into complete custom reports — any metric, any cut, built for you — and hands you the chart; you decide what it means. That shape is why agencies trust it — and, increasingly, why regulators require exactly it.

And let's say it now: someday a recommended worker will no-show anyway. The model flags the risk before call time, your coordinator sees it early, and backfill is one tap. Judge the system on the season, not one at-bat.

Bright line

Recommendations carry reasons. Decisions carry a name.

07 / 10The Fine Print
Compliance isn't a feature.

This is where shortcuts get expensive. Gig apps rent you 1099 crowds and leave the classification risk on your desk. We built for W-2 agencies on purpose.

W-2

Payroll handoff, workers' comp, and wage records that survive an audit.

Human

A coordinator approves every AI-recommended assignment — the architecture NYC's AEDT rule and Colorado's AI law point at.

No traps

No setup fee. Migration included. Your data stays exportable. Annual or monthly billing.

08 / 10The Rate

Three plans. One is the answer for most.

Essentials, $254/mo + 2% — the full platform: scheduling, dispatch, timesheets, invoicing, base reporting. For agencies replacing the spreadsheet.

Pro, $424/mo + 2.5% — everything above, plus the parts that replace your stack: Guru (clients run orders, changes, timesheets, and invoices by text — no login), AI recommendations, geofence clock-in, your-brand Client Hub, AI reporting, QuickBooks, e-signature, the playbook and cohort, same-day support. Those are annual-billing rates — monthly billing is $299 (Essentials) and $499 (Pro).

Scale, from $999 — white-label on your domain, SSO, API, dedicated CSM.

Included

Roster migration, client setup, rate configuration — every plan, no setup fee. Branches $99/mo. SMS metered honestly at $29–$79.

09 / 10A Real Week

What Pro looks like by Friday.

Monday, three overnight orders are already filed — approving rosters takes 22 minutes, not three hours. Tuesday, a regular's reliability dip surfaces before it becomes Thursday's no-show; you keep him anyway, but now it's a decision, not a surprise. Wednesday, the geofence flags a parking-lot clock-in before it reaches an invoice. Thursday, the client texts Guru “who's coming Saturday?” and gets the roster before you've even seen the message. Friday, invoices go out same-day, QuickBooks agrees with itself, and the report builder says your fill rate starts with a 9 and a 9.

You leave on time. That's the product.

10 / 10Your Move

Your orders. Our problem.

A demo takes thirty minutes. Bring a real job order — your roles, your rates, your chaos — and watch the clock yourself.

“Pro was built by someone who owned staffing agencies. This is the system we wish we'd had when we ran ours.”

FAQThe Questions

Plainly answered.

Do my clients have to log into a portal?

No. Guru gives clients full access by text — placing orders, asking who's coming, changing details, approving timesheets, and invoice questions. The Client Hub is there for clients who prefer a dashboard.

Does the AI auto-assign workers?

No. It recommends best-fit workers with reasoning; your coordinator approves every assignment. Decision support, not automation.

What does Pro replace?

A typical stitched stack of ATS/CRM, scheduling, time tracking, client portal, and e-signature — $1,685–$3,835/month — for $424/month plus 2.5% on billed shifts.

Is there a setup fee?

No. Roster migration, client setup, and rate configuration are included on every plan.

What's a branch?

An operational unit — a city, region, or business line with its own roster, clients, and P&L. Additional branches are $99/month.

Is TempGuru a gig app?

No. Gig marketplaces rent you 1099 crowds. TempGuru is software for W-2 agencies that employ their workers — with the compliance posture to match.

What's the best staffing software for a small business or agency?

The one your coordinators will actually use. Small agencies need job orders, scheduling, timesheets, and invoicing in one place before they need enterprise modules. That's Essentials at $254/month — and Pro when your clients should start texting Guru instead of calling you.

Do I need an ATS, a staffing agency CRM, or a staffing platform?

With Pro, you stop choosing — it's an ATS for staffing agencies and a staffing CRM in one platform, organized around the objects temp staffing actually runs on: orders, shifts, timesheets, invoices. Candidate pipelines and client relationships live in the same system that fills the shift and sends the bill.

How is AI staffing software different from a regular ATS?

An ATS stores candidates. AI staffing software works the shift — ranking raised hands by reliability, predicting no-shows, flagging timesheet exceptions, forecasting demand. In TempGuru, every AI output is a recommendation a human approves.

What is staffing agency software?

Software that runs an agency's core loop — job orders, candidate pools, scheduling, dispatch, timesheets, invoicing — in one system. Temporary staffing software is the same category tuned for shift and assignment work — one-day covers to months-long placements. TempGuru Pro is both: staffing agency software built around the temp workflow at any assignment length, with AI decision support and human approval.

Can I build custom reports?

Completely custom — that's the point of the AI report builder. Ask in plain English for the report you actually want ("margin by client this quarter," "no-show trends by site," "fill rate by shift start time") and it builds the whole report, not a filtered version of a canned one.

How much does staffing software cost?

Standalone staffing platforms typically run $800–$2,500/month before add-ons. TempGuru is $254–$424/month plus a 2–2.5% service fee on billed shifts. Pricing is public — it's on this page.
