Reduce Agency Spend
& Stay Compliant.

"Bringing control back to the fragmented nature of labour agency spend has always been a concern with visibility of hours, rates and overtime being almost impossible to manage. Datum has provided TW North Thames with an amazing platform to manage our schemes better from a financial and compliance point of view.

We have actively been working with Datum for over 12 months and I couldn’t imagine operating in an environment without their professionalism, data and statistics. We have been extremely satisfied with their service and are excited to keep this partnership and grow it with further TW regions".

"Within three months of working with VINCI, Datum RPO had fully implemented the solution as proposed. Datum RPO were quick to address client concerns over quality and compliance within their existing supply chain and conducted comprehensive onsite audits of all incumbent workers. These audits uncovered numerous compliance and process deficiencies within VINCI’s existing supply chain which were all addressed by the introduction of robust action plans and follow-up meetings to ensure standards were raised and compliance was achieved, thereby eliminating all risk to VINCI".

"Datum have worked with Redrow to manage our agency labour spend since 2019. We engaged them to confirm and ensure legal compliance in our supply chain including the risks posed by agency workers around modern slavery.

Following our agreement marked improvements have been made and we now have a panel of agency suppliers who have been engaged on our own terms. These agencies are managed by Datum so our site managers now have time to concentrate on their day jobs rather than calling round lots of different suppliers. We have full visibility of our spend resulting in savings on the overall costs, as well as the comfort that our business is legally compliant.

I have no hesitation in recommending them to any business who needs support in this area".

"As temporary labour makes up a significant amount of our company spend we were keen to explore opportunities to make its procurement more compliant and cost effective. Datum RPO’s solution to manage our existing supply allowed the business to continue relationships they have had for a number of years. By adding in cost savings and a robust compliance & audit programme we have more comfort that the business is hiring compliant and relevant resource. It’s also been great to have access to a complete overview of where we spend our money, with who and on what. Datum RPO’s support has allowed us to focus on other areas of our business that need our attention. I’ve really enjoyed working with the Datum team over the last 12 months and look forward to our continued partnership".

"As the Supply Chain Manager for Telford Homes it has always been a priority that as a responsible business we are happy with our suppliers and confident we are using the best in the industry. To maintain our high standards we decided to do a deep dive into how these suppliers were managing our legal compliance risks.

An independent audit was the final piece of the jigsaw for us and so we engaged Datum to perform an audit of our entire agency supply chain.  

The audit was completed within the agreed timescales, I was kept informed at every stage and a very detailed report was delivered highlighting potential risks and this was followed up with a meeting to discuss how improvements could be made.

I have no hesitation in recommending Datum to anyone who wants to understand what legal compliance risks they have in their agency labour supply chain".

"I’m impressed by how quickly Datum RPO grasped our needs and issues and came up with a solution. They operate with pragmatism, honesty and hard work. It’s refreshing to deal with people that simply want to do a good job. They’ve already turned our problematic contract around, and previous issues have gone away. I can’t praise them highly enough – they got us out of a hole very quickly and I’m very grateful".

"Datum RPO conducted a supplier audit for us and were very professional but easy to work with. The audit was well documented and provided in a report within 24 hours. I would not hesitate to recommend Datum RPO to other companies who need to outsource their audit require".
