Care Hires, the UK’s leading contingent staffing platform for social care, today announces the launch of Agency Accelerator, an AI-powered operating system purpose-built for care staffing agencies.
Built specifically for the realities of social care staffing, Agency Accelerator consolidates the entire agency back office into one intelligent operating system spanning workforce and client management, compliance tracking, scheduling, payroll, invoicing and real-time performance reporting.
Agency Accelerator is designed to eliminate manual admin, connect workflows end-to-end and give agency leaders full commercial visibility in real time. By launching instantly across Care Hires’ existing agency network, Agency Accelerator is setting a new benchmark for UK temporary recruitment technology replacing fragmented systems with one platform built for scale.
The launch marks one of the largest product activations in UK temporary recruitment history. More than 1,300 agencies operating on the Care Hires platform, representing over 10% of the total market, will gain immediate access to Agency Accelerator.
The temporary recruitment sector is worth £59.1 billion a year and through this endeavour, Care Hires is extremely well positioned to become the market leader.
Bhavisha Maru, Head of Supply at Agency Accelerator & Care Hires, said:
“Care staffing agencies have been forced to operate with systems that were never built for them or priced as if efficiency was a luxury. Agency Accelerator changes that. Over the last 12 months, we’ve built this alongside agency leaders to eliminate admin, connect critical workflows and give agencies a platform that actually supports growth.”
Ashley Haveloch-Jones, Chief Operating Officer at Care Hires, added:
“The temporary recruitment sector is the backbone of our economy, fuelled by a growing demand for flexibility and autonomy from both workers and employers. Yet despite being worth £59.1 billion annually, it’s still operating on legacy processes and technology that haven’t kept pace. By launching Agency Accelerator across our large network of agencies, we’re delivering immediate value to more than 1,300 recruitment agencies overnight. We believe AI will redefine how recruitment firms operate, and we are committed to being at the frontier by building the operating system for the next generation of agencies.”
Agency Accelerator forms part of Care Hires’ wider mission to modernise the care staffing ecosystem, reducing operational friction and improving consistency, transparency and outcomes across the sector.
