Requests Dependent On Phone And Email
Clients had no self-service way to request workers, relying entirely on reaching their account manager directly.
STAFFING CLIENT MVP CASE STUDY
Letting Staffing Clients Request, Review And Approve Without A Phone Call
Staffing agency clients often have no self-service way to request workers or approve timesheets, relying instead on phone calls and email back-and-forth with their account manager. This MVP gave clients a direct portal to request staff, review candidates and approve timesheets on their own schedule.
♙ Self-Service Worker Requests Clients submit staffing requests directly through the portal instead of a phone call.
▣ Candidates Reviewed On The Client's Schedule Clients review and respond to submitted candidates whenever suits them, not just during a call.
✦ Timesheet Approval Without The Back-And-Forth Clients approve worker timesheets directly, speeding up the billing cycle for everyone.
Giving Staffing Clients Direct Control Over Requests And Approvals
A staffing client needing workers on short notice often has to call or email their agency contact and wait for a reply, even for routine requests like reviewing submitted candidates or approving a timesheet. That back-and-forth slows down what should be a fast-moving process.
This MVP built a self-service client portal where staffing clients could submit worker requests, review candidate submissions, manage active assignments and approve timesheets directly, reducing dependency on manual coordination for routine tasks.

The Challenge
Candidate Review Delayed By Scheduling
Reviewing submitted candidates often required a scheduled call rather than being something the client could do on their own time.
Timesheet Approval Slowing Down Billing
Manual timesheet approval processes created delays that pushed back invoicing and payment cycles for temporary workers.
What We Can Identified
Staffing Agency Client Portal centered on the real workflows behind staffing agency client portal.
Self-Service Worker Request Submission
Clients submit staffing needs directly through the portal, specifying role, timing and requirements.
Candidate Submission Review
Clients review candidates submitted by the agency at their own pace, with clear profile and availability details.
Active Assignment Management
Clients see all current worker assignments in one view, including start dates and assignment status.
Digital Timesheet Approval
Clients approve or query submitted worker timesheets directly, accelerating the path to invoicing.
Direct Agency Communication
Clients can message their account team directly within the portal, keeping communication tied to the relevant request.
Request & Assignment History
Clients can review their full history of requests and assignments, supporting easier repeat staffing decisions.
How MVPHUB Gave Staffing Clients Self-Service Control Over Requests And Approvals

♢ Build Timesheet Approval & Communication
We built the approval flow and direct messaging tying communication to specific requests.
5
⌁ Launch & Validate With Real Clients
The MVP launched to validate the self-service portal against real staffing client workflows.
A client waiting on a phone call is a client losing time. Give them a portal, and routine requests stop needing a conversation.
Engineering Behind The Experience
Structured Data Models
Requests, candidates, assignments and timesheets are modeled distinctly, keeping the client relationship data reliable.
Role-Based Access Control
Each client sees only their own requests, assignments and workers, keeping data appropriately separated.
API-First Design
Client request and timesheet data is exposed through APIs, supporting future integration with staffing operations systems.
Built For Multi-Client Scale
The portal was engineered to support many client accounts simultaneously without data crossing between them.
