Evolution, the NovaUCD-based human resources software company, today announced the launch of TempSheets.com. TempSheets.com is an easy-to-use online system designed for recruitment agencies that place temporary staff. TempSheets.com enables such firms to gain a competitive advantage by providing an easy and efficient way to record temporary staff timesheets, schedule staff availability and obtain client approval.

TempSheets.com, which is currently being rolled-out to a number of recruitment agencies in Ireland, eliminates the need for paper-based timesheets which are time consuming for agencies to process, by allowing temporary staff to complete and submit their timesheets online. These timesheets are then approved by the client company before being electronically submitted to the recruitment agency with all invoicing and payroll calculations already completed.

According to Alistair Thacker, founder, Evolution, “With many of the bigger players in the recruitment industry now offering online services, TempSheet.com enables smaller agencies to compete head-to-head without the need for massive capital investment.”

Evolution was founded in 2006 by Alistair Thacker who previously worked for SoftCo and Microsoft. Evolution intends to raise over €300,000 in first-round funding later this year and to launch TempSheets.com into the UK market. Evolution currently employs 3 people and is headquartered at NovaUCD, the Innovation and Technology Transfer Centre at University College Dublin.

Another of Evolution’s HR products is VacationTracker.net, an easy-to-use web-based service which enables companies to more efficiently manage their employees’ planned and unplanned absences.
