Run Your Contractor Desk Without Spreadsheets

WorkTenure is IT contractor management software for recruitment agencies. Manage clients, projects, contractor placements, rates, margins and contract dates from one simple platform — built for agencies supplying IT contractors on daily and hourly rates, including Outside IR35 engagements.

IT contractor management software for recruitment agencies

Recruitment desks that place IT contractors juggle a lot: client purchase orders, individual placements, day rates and hourly rates, pay-and-charge margins, contract start and end dates, right-to-work and compliance documents, weekly timesheets, approvals and invoicing. WorkTenure brings all of it into a single multi-tenant platform so your consultants stop rekeying data between spreadsheets, emails and accounting tools.

Timesheets, approvals and invoicing in one flow

Contractors submit their weekly hours in seconds. The client's authorised approver reviews and approves in a single tap, with weekends and UK bank holidays handled automatically. The moment a timesheet is approved, WorkTenure generates the client invoice and the contractor self-bill from the same figures — no rekeying, no chasing, and no discrepancies between what was worked, what was billed and what gets paid.

Approvals that keep everyone accountable

Every approval is captured with the approver's name, role and timestamp, giving you a clear audit trail. Managers can delegate approvals to a colleague for a set date range when they are on leave, so nothing stalls while they are away.

Built for agencies supplying IT contractors

Rates and margins

Set separate charge rates and pay rates per placement and see the margin instantly. Rate information is stripped from the views of users who should never see it, protecting your commercial position.

Placements and contract dates

Track each placement's client, project, job role, start date and end date. WorkTenure understands mid-week contract ends and only counts standard working days towards weekly limits, while still allowing weekend work where it happens.

Outside IR35 engagements

WorkTenure is designed with Outside IR35 engagements in mind, supporting limited-company contractors with their own organisation name, address, company registration number, VAT number and bank details for accurate self-billing.

Why agencies choose WorkTenure

Because it removes the spreadsheet sprawl that slows a contractor desk down. Client invoicing, contractor self-billing, payment schedules, compliance document tracking and automated timesheet reminders all live in one place. Role-based access keeps agency admins, managers, contractors and finance contacts seeing exactly what they should — and nothing they shouldn't.

Frequently asked questions

Who is WorkTenure for?

WorkTenure is built for IT contract recruitment agencies that place limited-company and umbrella contractors with client organisations. Agency admins, client timesheet approvers, contractors and finance contacts each get a role-appropriate view of the same shared data.

Does WorkTenure handle both client invoicing and contractor self-billing?

Yes. When a timesheet is approved, WorkTenure produces the client invoice and the contractor self-bill from the identical approved figures, so the amount worked, charged and paid always reconciles. You can track paid and unpaid status separately for client invoices and contractor self-bills.

Can it manage day rates, hourly rates and margins?

WorkTenure supports both daily and hourly rate placements, calculates pay-and-charge margins automatically, and hides sensitive rate data from users who should not see it.

Does WorkTenure support Outside IR35 engagements?

Yes. Limited-company contractors can store their own organisation name, address, company registration number, VAT number and bank details, which flow onto their self-bill invoices for accurate, compliant Outside IR35 payment routing.
