Case Study: Building a Seamless Temp Workforce for UK Exams

Overview

A leading UK-based education provider relies on a large-scale, highly responsive temp workforce to support thousands of students sitting exams across 12 cities. With every shift, they need dependable, DBS-cleared staff who can be deployed quickly and consistently nationwide.

 

Our Brief

During peak examination periods, over 150 invigilators and exam staff work simultaneously across different locations and shift patterns - each of whom must be qualified, DBS-checked and fully briefed. With so much at stake, the client required a seamless operation with 24/7 support to handle last-minute changes and keep all centre managers, shift leads, and exam officers in the loop.

 

Our Approach

To deliver consistent quality at scale, we:

  1. Ran year-round recruitment and compliance checks to maintain a live pool of qualified, exam-ready temporary workers.
  2. Developed bespoke internal systems to manage, amend and track hundreds of active bookings in real time.
  3. Hired and trained dedicated internal support staff to handle volume, provide rapid response, and guarantee exceptional service delivery.
