Pro runs construction staffing — jobsite dispatch, skilled-trade and labor pools, OSHA-cert tracking, geofence check-in at the site, certified-payroll handoff, invoicing — with AI that recommends and coordinators who decide. Built for the jobsite, not the desk.
Construction staffing is a moving target.
The pour is at seven and the crew's three short. Tomorrow it's a different site, a different foreman, a different set of certs. The GC isn't reading résumés — he's watching the gate.
Your workers don't report to one warehouse — they go to a new jobsite most days, and the client changes weekly. TempGuru was built inside that reality — by a founder who owned staffing agencies and dispatched to jobsites herself.
Every site has its own cert requirements, and every hour has to survive a certified-payroll audit. OSHA cards, trade certs, and reliability scores stay attached to each worker — an expired card holds a worker off dispatch — and hours export clean for prevailing-wage jobs. The person you send is cleared for that gate, and the paperwork holds up.
Construction staffing software handles jobsite dispatch for skilled-trade and general-labor agencies — daily site assignments, OSHA and trade-cert tracking, geofence check-in at the site, no-show backfill, and certified-payroll handoff. TempGuru Pro is that system, W-2 by default, for $424/month.
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.
If a step lives in a spreadsheet, that step is where you'll lose Saturday.
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.
What you're buying is a crew that's on the right site by call time.
From text to staffed.
A real order shape, on Pro: the GC adds six to tomorrow's Oak St pour at 6:47 the night before.
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.
Speed isn't a luxury in temp staffing. It's the product.
Fire the stack. Keep the work.
Construction agencies don't lack software. They run five subscriptions stitched together with exports and prayer — and rebuild the certified-payroll report by hand every week.
The service fee is simple: $10,000 in billed shifts = $250. It scales with revenue you invoiced, not seats you might use.
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 answers plain-English questions 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.
Recommendations carry reasons. Decisions carry a name.
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.
Payroll handoff, workers' comp, and wage records that survive an audit.
A coordinator approves every AI-recommended assignment — the architecture NYC's AEDT rule and Colorado's AI law point at.
No setup fee. Migration included. Your data stays exportable. Month-to-month exists.
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. $499 month-to-month if you'd rather we re-earn it every four weeks.
Scale, from $999 — white-label on your domain, SSO, API, dedicated CSM.
Roster migration, client setup, rate configuration — every plan, no setup fee. Branches $99/mo. SMS metered honestly at $29–$79.
What Pro looks like on the jobsite.
Monday, the GC adds a crew for the Oak St pour; ranked recs fill it before the trucks arrive. Tuesday, an OSHA card expires — the worker is held off dispatch automatically, so there's no jobsite violation. Wednesday, geofence check-in at the site (not a fixed dock) catches a wrong-site punch before it reaches an invoice. Thursday, the GC checks who's dispatched to which site in the Hub instead of calling you. Friday, certified-payroll hours export clean and invoices go out same-day.
Every crew hit the right gate, and the payroll held up. That's the product.
Your jobsite. Our problem.
A demo takes thirty minutes. Bring a real crew order — your trades, your certs, 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.”

Plainly answered.
What is construction staffing software?
Software that handles jobsite dispatch for skilled-trade and general-labor staffing agencies — daily site assignments, OSHA and trade-cert tracking, geofence check-in at the site, no-show backfill, and certified-payroll handoff. TempGuru adds SMS job orders through Guru, AI candidate ranking your coordinator approves, and jobsite geofence check-in.
How does jobsite dispatch work when crews change sites daily?
Each order is tied to a site and call time. Workers see where they're headed and confirm from their phones; geofence check-in is set to that jobsite, not a fixed dock, so a wrong-site punch is caught. The GC sees who's dispatched to which site in the Hub.
Does it track OSHA cards and trade certifications?
Yes. OSHA 10/30 cards, trade certs, and reliability scores stay attached to each worker and feed the ranking. An expired card holds a worker off dispatch automatically, so the person you send is cleared for that gate.
Does it handle certified payroll and prevailing wage?
Hours export clean for certified-payroll and prevailing-wage jobs, so you're not rebuilding the report by hand. Timesheets flow from geofence check-in to the payroll handoff without re-keying.
Do my clients have to log into a portal?
No. Guru gives GCs full access by text — placing orders, asking who's dispatched, changing crew size, approving timesheets, and invoice questions. The Client Hub is there for GCs who want a live dispatch board.
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 pay/bill rate configuration are included on every plan.
How much does construction 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.
