Gigazon Internet Capital Limited
Since 2019 we have advised staffing firms and employers on the systems they hire through — what to buy, what to automate, what to stop automating, and what the law in their market will let them do. OpenTime is what we built once we had seen the same problem enough times.
Practice areas
Six areas, all of them things we have had to solve for ourselves as well as advise on. We are not a generalist digital consultancy that also does recruitment — staffing is the only thing we do.
Choosing between an ATS, a CRM, a VMS and a middle layer, and working out which of them you actually need. Integration design, data model, and the migration plan that has to survive first contact with a live desk.
Which parts of sourcing, screening, scheduling and onboarding hold up under automation — and, more usefully, which parts break in ways you only find out about at scale.
Most staffing firms have paid to acquire far more candidates than they can currently reach. Turning a dormant database back into something bookable is a data problem, an availability problem and a consent problem at the same time.
Employment status, agency licensing and equal-treatment rules differ in every market we work in, and getting them wrong is expensive in a way that shows up years later.
The unglamorous middle of a staffing business: timesheets, hours adjustments, invoicing, margin visibility and dispute handling. This is usually where the margin is quietly going.
For firms building something themselves: liquidity, matching, trust and the sequencing of which side of the marketplace you solve first. Informed by having built one.

Why there is a platform on this website
You can improve a staffing firm’s systems a long way before you hit the thing that is actually wrong: the industry re-runs the same verification on the same person for every opening, and nobody keeps a reliable record of who is free. No amount of workflow tuning fixes that from inside one company. So we built OpenTime.
