Everything agencies ask us about moobob, from compliance and timesheets to pricing and getting started.
moobob is a compliance-first CRM and ATS for temp and permanent desk recruitment agencies. Candidates, compliance, bookings, timesheets, invoicing and client interactions all live in one platform, so your desk runs from a single screen.
SME recruitment agencies running temp desks, perm desks or both. Our agencies work across education, healthcare, care homes, logistics and other shift-based sectors.
No. moobob handles permanent placements alongside temp, so mixed desks don't need two systems.
Recruiters. moobob was founded by Andrew Johnston (CEO) and Laura Walsh (CRO), who between them have more than 50 years in agency, RPO and client-side recruitment. They're joined by Sarah Johnston (CFO) and Dr Fraser Greenroyd (CTO), a Chartered Engineer who leads platform development.
Because most recruitment software isn't built by people who've worked a desk. We were tired of outdated systems that ignored how recruiters actually work, so we built the one we wanted to use.
From Marley (“Moo”) and Charlie (“Bob”), the founders' two miniature schnauzers.
Station House, 1 Pembroke Broadway, Camberley, Surrey, GU15 3XD. moobob is a trading name of Savage Roots Limited.
More than 50 agencies are live on the platform (as of August 2026).
Three things: compliance is built into the core rather than bolted on, every feature is included in one subscription with no paid add-ons, and the product is designed by people with decades of agency experience.
Right to Work, DBS, references and document expiry are tracked automatically from the moment a candidate is registered. The platform flags what's missing or expiring before it becomes a problem, rather than relying on someone remembering to check.
All 24 features, on every subscription: candidate clearance, vetting and referencing, Right to Work alerts, DBS notifications, central document storage, user dashboards, alert notifications, AWR tracker, booking system, shift planner, timesheet generation, approval and authorisation, payroll integration, automated invoicing, pipeline and forecasting, report builder, email integration, client interaction manager, permanent placements, End Client Portal, candidate leads, user groups and accounting integration.
No. No tiers, no add-ons, no hidden costs. Every licence gets the whole platform.
Each candidate has a single record holding their details, clearance status, documents, references, bookings and placement history, so you can see at a glance whether they're ready to work.
moobob captures new candidate applications automatically and adds them to your database, ready to qualify, rather than leaving them sitting in an inbox.
Yes. Perm vacancies, shortlists and placements run in the same system as your temp desk, so consultants working both don't switch tools.
You fill shifts from within moobob, matching cleared, available candidates to client requirements, instead of chasing people through group chats and spreadsheets.
It gives you a weekly view of every booked and open shift, so you can spot gaps early and plan cover.
Yes. Pipeline and forecasting shows the work coming in, so you can see upcoming bookings and placements before they land.
Yes. Email integration syncs your inbox with the CRM, so conversations with candidates and clients are logged against the right record.
The client interaction manager logs every touchpoint — calls, emails, meetings — against the client record, giving the whole team the full history.
User dashboards give each consultant a live overview of their desk, and the report builder lets you create custom reports on candidates, bookings, timesheets, placements and revenue.
Yes. User groups let you set role-based permissions, so consultants, compliance staff, finance and managers each see what they need.
In central document storage inside moobob: one searchable place for CVs, ID, certificates, contracts and compliance evidence.
moobob records each candidate's Right to Work evidence, tracks expiry dates for time-limited permissions and schedules re-checks automatically, alerting you before a check falls due.
The consultant and compliance team get an alert ahead of the expiry date, and the candidate's clearance status reflects it, so nobody is booked without valid permission.
Yes. When Home Office requirements change, we update the platform's checks and workflows, and we publish guidance for agencies on our News page.
moobob stores DBS certificates and Update Service details against each candidate and flags renewals before they expire.
No. You make the DBS application based on the level of clearance you require for your contractors. moobob then stores the result and a copy of the certificate, and flags when the check needs renewing.
A single status showing whether a candidate is fully compliant to work. It pulls together ID, Right to Work, DBS, references, qualifications and any client-specific requirements.
moobob sends reference requests, chases them automatically and logs responses on the candidate record, so you have a full audit trail.
It monitors each temp's time in the same role with the same hirer and alerts you as they approach the 12-week qualifying period under the Agency Workers Regulations 2010.
Yes. Alert notifications and dashboards show missing, expiring and expired documents across your whole candidate pool.
Yes. Clearance requirements can be set to match the sector and client, for example safeguarding training for schools or mandatory training for care settings. It's all configurable in your settings, with a dynamic vetting form during contractor onboarding that adds extra compliance steps based on each contractor's answers — rather than a blanket checklist that may not reflect their career.
moobob keeps time-stamped records of checks, documents and references, so you can evidence compliance to clients, framework providers and auditors quickly. It supports your compliance processes; it doesn't replace your legal obligations.
moobob is built to support UK GDPR, with permission-based access and central document storage. Contractors have their own portal to control their data, and agencies remain the data controller for the data stored in moobob.
Automatically. moobob generates timesheets from booked shifts, so there's no rekeying hours from paper or email.
Contractors complete their timesheets in the web app or the mobile app, confirming the hours they've worked, which are pulled through automatically from the shifts they were booked on. They can make amendments — for example if they were late or asked to stay behind — but a timesheet with no changes can be submitted in as little as 30 seconds.
Clients authorise timesheets online in a single tap, through the End Client Portal or an emailed approval link. Every sign-off is recorded with who approved it and when.
Yes. Bulk timesheet approval went live in August 2026, so you can approve a week's timesheets in one go instead of one at a time.
Approval is your internal check that hours are correct; authorisation is the client's sign-off. Both are logged before payroll and invoicing run.
Once timesheets are authorised, moobob passes approved hours and rates to your payroll software, so pay is calculated from the same data the client signed off.
Yes. Invoices are generated automatically from authorised hours and agreed charge rates, ready to send to clients and sync to your accounting software.
Yes. You can set pay rates per contractor and charge rates per client, and set a custom rate when making a booking, so you stay in full control of the finances on every booking.
moobob integrates with Xero, so invoices raised in moobob flow straight into your accounts.
Invoices and contacts sync with Xero either at the press of a button or automatically when an invoice is raised — you choose which in your settings.
Yes. moobob integrates with a host of third-party systems, including Broadbean for job boards, 3CX and Elisha for telephony, and Outlook and Gmail for email, alongside a large suite of others. See our integrations and partners pages for more details.
A secure portal where your clients can see the status of their bookings, candidates and timesheets, and authorise hours, without phoning or emailing your team.
