Why Self-Delivery is the Future: How Deploi Helps You Break Free from Labour Agencies
For years, businesses in the security and facilities management (FM) industries have relied heavily on subcontractors and labour agencies to meet workforce demands. While this model offers flexibility, it often comes with significant downsides, inflated costs, inconsistent quality, and limited control over your workforce.
But what if you could build and manage your own team faster and more efficiently, without the reliance on third-party labour? With Deploi, you can.
The Problem with Subcontracting and Labour Agencies
High Costs: Labour agencies charge premiums for convenience. Every additional layer between you and your workforce eats into your margins.
Lack of Control: Managing a subcontracted workforce means limited visibility and influence over staff performance, training, and compliance.
Delays in Deployment: Background checks, compliance processes, and administrative red tape often slow down onboarding, forcing companies to depend on agency staff for immediate needs.
Deploi’s Game-Changing Solution
Deploi is transforming how businesses hire and onboard staff. Our AI-powered platform reduces background check times to an industry-leading 4.5 days on average and in many cases, we can complete checks in just 7 minutes.
And the best part? Deploi integrates directly into your existing systems. Whether you’re using an ATS (Applicant Tracking System) or a Workforce Management System, our API integrations ensure a seamless background checking process without disrupting your current workflows.
Here’s how that changes the game:
1. Instant Workforce Mobilisation
Imagine identifying the right candidate and having them compliant and ready to work within minutes. Deploi’s 7-minute background check capability allows you to get staff into roles faster than ever before, removing the traditional delays that keep you reliant on agency staff.
2. Accurate Time and Risk Predictions
With our API integration, you’ll have real-time visibility into:
Expected Background Check Completion Time: See how quickly a check is likely to clear, allowing for accurate planning.
Likelihood of Clearance: Our AI models provide insights into the probability of successful clearance, enabling proactive decision-making.
This level of insight means fewer surprises, less downtime, and a streamlined onboarding experience.
3. Significant Cost Savings
By eliminating agency fees and subcontractor mark-ups, you can reduce your workforce management costs while improving your profit margins. Plus, with faster onboarding, you reduce the time and money spent on vacant roles.
4. Total Control and Compliance
Self-delivery gives you full ownership of your workforce. With Deploi, you have visibility over every background check, compliance report, and employment record. You’ll know your staff meet all BS7858 standards without the need to outsource compliance management.
5. Consistent Quality and Brand Representation
Subcontracted staff might not always represent your brand the way your direct employees would. By self-delivering, you ensure your team aligns with your company’s culture, standards, and service expectations.
6. Improved Staff Retention
Investing in your own team creates a more engaged workforce. Employees feel a stronger connection to your business, leading to greater retention and reduced turnover.
Real Results, Real Impact
Companies like Adept Corporate Services, Interr Security, and Portal Security are already experiencing the benefits of self-delivery with Deploi. By integrating Deploi into their existing systems, they’ve streamlined compliance, reduced onboarding times, and taken full control of their workforce management.
When Subcontracting Still Makes Sense
While self-delivery offers substantial advantages, it’s worth noting that subcontractors or labour agencies can still play a valuable role in specific scenarios. For short-term projects, covering unexpected absences, or scaling quickly for major contracts, subcontracting may provide the flexibility you need. Deploi’s rapid background checks ensure that even in those situations, staff can be screened and onboarded swiftly, minimising disruption.
