How Fusion Staffing Increased Temp Placements by 30% with Rocket Recruitment
When Alan Hunsdale and Adam Pulley launched Fusion Staffing in 2025, their vision was clear: build a fast-growing temporary recruitment agency that transforms the education sector. To deliver rapid placements and exceptional experiences for both candidates and clients, they needed to scale quickly without being slowed by the common pitfalls of temporary recruitment: manual admin, compliance bottlenecks, and wasted time chasing documents.
“Previously, it could take two, three, even four weeks to get candidates cleared,” says Alan, Operations Manager at Fusion Staffing. “With Rocket Recruitment, we’ve had candidates cleared in two, three days.”
That change wasn’t just noticeable, it was transformative!
The Admin Bottleneck That Stalled Growth
From day one, Fusion Staffing knew that the pace of their success would hinge on the efficiency of their operations. But manual processes were making it difficult to keep up:
- Compliance checks were time-consuming
- Onboarding was fragmented
- Shift booking was clunky
- Candidate drop-offs were high due to slow communication and poor mobile experience
“Launching our own agency was exciting, but we knew admin and compliance could slow us down,” says Alan. “Rocket Recruitment has changed the game. Compliance is seamless, bookings are effortless, and our candidates stay engaged.”
A Purpose-Built Platform for Speed
After reviewing multiple solutions, Fusion Staffing chose Rocket Recruitment because it offered a mobile-first platform tailored specifically to the unique demands of temporary staffing. The software’s automation tools and seamless candidate experience set it apart from other systems.
Rocket Recruitment’s onboarding features were a particular standout. With Fusion’s branded mobile app, candidates can register, upload documents, complete compliance forms, sign contracts, apply for shifts, and submit timesheets all from their phones.
“Having Rocket is like having another employee,” Alan explains. “It’s seamless, it’s quick, and it gives candidates a one-stop shop.”
Real Results: 30% More Placements, 40 Hours Saved Weekly
Since implementing Rocket Recruitment, Fusion Staffing has achieved outstanding results:
- Candidates cleared 50% faster
- 35% reduction in time-to-place
- 40 hours of admin saved each week
- 30% increase in temp placements
- Significant reduction in candidate drop-offs
What used to take weeks now takes days. With compliance automated and communication streamlined, the team has more time to focus on client relationships, business development, and delivering a first-class service.
“Honestly, we wouldn’t do it any other way,” says Co-Founder Adam Pulley.
