How we use technology

Candidate/Client Management

We use an easy to use platform to manage your bookings and our staff in real time, giving you access to your booking, invoices and edit and approve timesheets.

Compliance Process

When working with Fire Food Chain, it is mandatory for all candidates to submit their Right to Work in the UK. This requirement involves providing an accepted, original document that is currently valid.

To ensure authenticity, we utilise our uComply scanning software, which effectively detects any fraudulent documents. This process serves as a crucial security measure, safeguarding both ourselves and our clients.

Background Checks

Once a candidate has completed our registration process and right to work, we will carry out in-depth referencing checks with our referencing software.

Keeping in touch

With our platform we can keep in touch with candidates by pushing regular alerts & updates through the app, texts and emails.

Our platform also gives our staff the ability to clock-in/out at the start and end of shift whilst also posting the geo-location tag confirming that staff are onsite.

Processes and Positions

Our recruitment process is designed to be just right - long enough to find the top-notch talent, but not so lengthy that it scares them away. Plus, we're all about being eco-friendly, so we've made everything online and accessible on your phone/tablet/laptop.

Candidate Sourcing

Targeted Advertising: We utilise a variety of job boards and social media platforms to effectively connect with the right individuals.

Refer a Friend Scheme: We offer incentives for our team members to recommend their friends, as we believe that good people tend to associate with other good people. It's a win-win situation for everyone involved.

CV Screen: We carefully review each applicant's CV to determine if they possess the necessary skills required for the job.

Telephone Screen: We engage in a conversation with potential candidates to verify their information and ensure that they are who they claim to be.

If they meet our criteria, we invite them for further assessment. Face to Face: We believe in personally meeting every candidate. No one is added to our database without first having a physical meeting with one of our team members. This can take the form of either a group induction or a one-on-one interview.
Compliance Process

All applicants are required to bring necessary documents for their face-to-face appointment.

Our team thoroughly verifies the authenticity of all documents, ensuring they align with the applicant's appearance.

Utilising uComply, documents are scanned and cross-checked against the home office database for verification purposes.

Expiry dates are automatically logged in our software, prompting the necessary actions as the expiration date approaches.

Student Visas – Restricted hours are recorded in our software, and these hours cannot be overridden.

A.E. Roberts Ltd have used labour supplied by Fire Food Chain for almost 3 years now.

We have had a very long standing relationship with another agency called Pro-Force, that goes back to the 1990’s, we had always resisted offers from elsewhere until Covid struck.

It then became clear that we had to look elsewhere as Pro-Force could not come up with the staff we needed. We tried 2 additional agencies. One failed literally from day 1.

Fire Food Chain however came up with the extra staff we needed, by tapping into groups of people that Pro-Force hadn’t found. I can’t say that the staff have always been brilliant.

Through the winter of 2020-2021 finding any staff was almost impossibly difficult.

Fire Food Chain came up with the numbers we needed to maintain our service to our customers, for which we were extremely grateful. That batch were not brilliant, they all left us in August once we had got over our spring peak, but we were so relieved to have them.

Since then we have continued to use Fire Food Chain, albeit for lower numbers as our need has dropped, and by and large the staff they have supplied have been of a reasonable quality.

There have been exceptions (aren’t there always?), but Fire Food Chain have always been quick to sort out any issues. One advantage to us has been that as all their staff are individually responsible for making their own way to work we have no issues with increasing or decreasing in car-loads.

We have always found them to be a friendly helpful and conscientious organisation who look after both their staff and their customers.
