“Payroll processing has never been this efficient!”
The Recruitment Group revolutionises its payroll with PurePro
The Recruitment Group (TRG) was established in 2018 through the acquisition of eight independent recruitment businesses across the UK. Operating in multiple locations, TRG provides recruitment services across diverse sectors, including blue-collar and food preparation. By 2022, the payroll team was managing payments for approximately 1,200 workers using a mix of legacy systems and manual processes.
When Stacey Ball joined as Payroll Manager, she quickly identified inefficiencies within the payroll setup. Fragmented systems and a heavy reliance on spreadsheets for reporting and compliance posed significant challenges. Stacey needed a unified, modern payroll platform to streamline operations and reduce the administrative burden.
“When I joined, it was clear we needed a system that could bring everything together and eliminate inefficiencies,” Stacey said.
The Search for a Solution
Stacey explored several payroll platforms but was particularly drawn to PurePro. Designed by the team behind Safe Tempest, PurePro offered the familiarity of a trusted system but with the added benefit of modern enhancements tailored to today’s recruitment demands.
“I’d used Safe Tempest in the past and trusted its reliability. PurePro builds on that foundation with advanced features and improved performance,” Stacey explained.
After a thorough evaluation, TRG selected PurePro as their next-generation payroll solution. The platform’s recruitment-specific features, automation capabilities, and scalability made it the clear choice.
“They sold PurePro to us as a platform designed specifically for recruitment businesses—faster, smarter, and built for today’s challenges,” Stacey noted.
Implementation and Early Experiences
TRG began implementing PurePro in April 2022. As one of the platform’s first adopters, they worked closely with the PurePro team to refine the system during the rollout.
“There were some early challenges, as with any new system, but the team was incredibly responsive. They acted on our feedback and quickly resolved issues,” said Robert Saxton, Finance Director at TRG.
Stacey added:“The collaboration with PurePro’s team was excellent. Their willingness to adapt and improve the system based on our needs made all the difference.”
The Benefits of PurePro
Since adopting PurePro, TRG has seen significant improvements in payroll efficiency and accuracy, with the following standout benefits:
Automation
The automation of previously manual tasks has freed up hours each week, enabling the payroll team to focus on strategic priorities. No manual intervention is required from loading timesheets to processing BACS, but any data can be changes at anytime and it recalcs
Unmatched Speed and Efficiency
“Period close used to take hours; now, it’s done instantly. That’s been a game-changer for us,” Stacey said, “the whole system is instant”
Error Reduction
“The system’s built-in validation tools have drastically reduced payroll errors, cutting them by over 70%. This has saved us considerable time and improved worker satisfaction,” Robert added.
Built-In Compliance Tools
Features such as automated audit logs have simplified compliance processes.
“When responding to compliance queries, I can pull up the data instantly. It’s made a massive difference,” Stacey explained.
Scalable for Growth
PurePro has enabled TRG to manage payroll for 1,200 workers seamlessly, all with a small payroll team.
“It’s positioned us for future growth without requiring additional headcount,” Robert noted.
Tailored for Recruitment Needs
PurePro’s features are designed specifically for recruitment businesses, accommodating perm, temp, and contract placements effortlessly.
“It’s intuitive and fits perfectly into our recruitment workflow,” Stacey said.
Would TRG Recommend PurePro?
“Absolutely,” Robert said. “PurePro has transformed how we handle payroll. It’s efficient, reliable, and tailored to the needs of recruitment businesses.”
Stacey agreed:“It’s the best system we’ve used. It’s fast, intuitive, and has made our work significantly easier. We’d recommend it to any recruitment business looking to modernise their payroll.”
