ONE PLACE. HOT LEADS. LIVE REQUESTS. MORE CLIENTS.
Recruitment agencies in social care know the struggle all too well — constant ring-rounds, unpredictable demand, and endless chasing for contracts just to keep your pipeline full. Meanwhile, providers often need urgent cover or permanent hires at short notice, leaving you working reactively instead of proactively.
PLACENTRAL™ changes that. As the UK’s first dedicated platform connecting care providers directly with trusted recruitment agencies, it puts you at the heart of live staffing needs. You receive staffing requests straight from providers who need your support — no cold outreach, no wasted emails, no uncertainty. Just targeted, real-time opportunities delivered directly to your dashboard so you can focus on placing staff quickly and growing your agency.
- Eliminate Outreach – Let the Business Come to You. Say goodbye to ring-rounds and cold calling. Providers post their staffing requirements directly on PLACENTRAL™, giving you instant access to qualified requests without spending time and money on business development.
- Real-Time Staffing Requests. From emergency cover when staff call in sick, to permanent recruitment for hard-to-fill roles, PLACENTRAL™ gives you visibility of live vacancies in real time. Respond instantly and secure staff placements for your agency.
- Unlimited Access for a Simple Flat Fee. No commission, no per-request charges. Agencies pay either a monthly subscription or an annual licence for unlimited staffing requests — predictable, transparent pricing that scales with your business.
