You Care, I Care

Introducing AgoraStaff with Richard Williams-Pears

Janet Shreeve

My guest today is Richard Williams-Pears who is the CEO of a brand new recruitment app, AgoraStaff. This app has been designed for the care industry and I'm excited to say that I'm also involved.

Richard and I only met about 18 months ago and AgoraStaff was born from a group of us questioning if we could provide a staffing solution to care companies without the agencies and their high fees and almost 2 years later, our app has arrived!

There is a flat fee as a provider to join and then the fee on this app is only 5% compared to the sometimes 45% that care agencies charge on top of the hourly rate for the member of staff. Instead of someone having to be signed up to multiple agencies, they can just sign up to the app and be available to any care company or care home that has requested staff.

Currently the app is available to the Bristol, Bath and Somerset area but soon we'll be removing the limitations and the app will be rolling out across the country. We've got an advertising campaign planned and we also have a refer a friend scheme for those who are using the app.

Don't forget to continue listening for some fun bloopers!
