Hiring platform · Specialist engineering

Workforce management built to connect hiring managers with their entire labour supply network.

Source Centre simplifies specialist engineering hiring across contract and permanent roles with one supplier list, one compliance process, consolidated weekly invoicing, and a consistent workflow for every hiring manager.

Hire faster

Vacancies released to your supplier list inside a minute. Shortlists in hours, not days. Every hiring manager runs the same workflow, no improvising, no exceptions.

Stay compliant

IR35, right-to-work, certifications and AWR all tracked and alerted on by default. Bad submissions blocked at source, never reach your hiring managers.

One invoice per supplier

Consolidated self-billing rolls every contractor from a supplier into a single weekly invoice, instead of dozens of separate ones to reconcile. Time correction, dispute, approval, all visible, all auditable.

From vacancy to start, click any step

One process. Seven steps. Same database.

Every step below is a live screen in the platform. The same action that’s captured for an MSP operator is visible in real time to the client, supplier and worker.

Raise the vacancy

Hiring manager raises the role in one form. Cost centre, day rate, certifications, sign-off chain — all captured upfront. No back-and-forth emails to get the basics right.

01 · The problem & our fix

You know the pain. Here’s how Source Centre solves it.

Common challenges specialist engineering companies encounter today, and how Source Centre resolves each one.

Poor-quality CVs
Problem

Too many CVs. Most don't fit the brief.

Hiring managers buried in CVs that don't match the spec. Some agencies send everyone they've got to hit their numbers, and on top of that come unsolicited CVs from agencies you don't even have terms with. For every CV worth reading there are five that aren't, and no-one's even sure which agency sent whom.

Source Centre solves it

Pre-screened CVs. One built-in ATS.

Every CV lands in Source Centre's built-in ATS, submitted as structured data against the vacancy, only by agencies on your approved supplier list. Suppliers screen against your brief before submitting; at Enterprise tier the AM screens before it reaches the hiring manager. Managers see CVs that fit, not inbox noise. And the database settles any dispute about who got there first.

05 · Why Source Centre

Three things our competitors won’t do.

01

Published pricing

A management fee plus a per-start fee. Visible to anyone with the URL. No hidden margins clipped from your suppliers and passed back into your rates.

02

Compliance-verified at submission

Suppliers can't submit a candidate whose certifications or right-to-work documents are out of date. Bad CVs blocked at source, not discovered the day before they're due on site.

03

Open to your audit team

Day one, your procurement, finance and compliance teams get direct read-access. They pull what they need themselves, every rate, every approval, every charge, without going through us. Most providers won't do this because gatekeeping is their leverage.

“Every manager hired their own way: their own agencies, their own paperwork, their own timelines. With no standard process, the same role took three times as long depending on who owned it, and the best engineers were gone before we’d even agreed how to handle the vacancy.”
