Why Gattaca chose Tifo

For more than 35 years, Gattaca has connected specialist talent with organisations across the engineering and technology sectors.

Built with recruitment businesses in mind, Tifo helps organisations simplify compliance, streamline onboarding and give candidates a smoother experience from day one.

We recently spoke with Michelle Harding from Gattaca PLC about the challenges the business faced before implementing Tifo, why they chose the platform, and the impact it has had across their onboarding and compliance processes.

As a business that manages high volumes of contractor placements and prides itself on being powered by smart technology, Gattaca needed a tech solution that could provide greater visibility, reduce manual administration and help teams onboard candidates quickly without compromising compliance.

Making the move to Tifo

Before implementing Tifo, Gattaca’s onboarding process relied heavily on emails, spreadsheets and manual data entry.

Collecting documents, chasing candidates and tracking progress across multiple systems created unnecessary delays and duplication. Consultants and leadership teams had limited visibility of where candidates were in the onboarding journey, making it difficult to proactively manage expectations or resolve issues before they became bottlenecks.

The onboarding team was also spending significant time manually entering contractor information, increasing the risk of errors and taking valuable time away from more strategic work.

As the business continued to grow, Gattaca recognised the need for a more efficient, scalable approach that would bring onboarding and compliance activities together inone place.

That’s where Tifo came in.

By introducing automated document collection, candidate communications and builtin compliance workflows, Tifo provided a single platform that gave teams greater control, visibility and confidence throughout the onboarding process.

Seeing the benefits

The impact was felt almost immediately.

One of the biggest improvements has been the speed of onboarding. What previously took around a week can now be completed in as little as two days, helping candidates get to site faster and enabling Gattaca to meet client requirements more efficiently.

Automation has also removed a significant amount of manual administration from the onboarding team. Tasks such as document collection, validation and candidate chasing now happen automatically, allowing the team to focus their time on exception handling and higher-value activities.

The platform has also helped reduce errors by shifting data entry directly to candidates, with built-in validation ensuring information is complete before onboarding can progress.

As a result, Gattaca can confidently support more than 130 new contractor placements each week while maintaining the high compliance standards its clients expect.

Greater visibility and control

For Gattaca, the benefits extend beyond efficiency.

Tifo has transformed the way onboarding activity is monitored and managed across the business.

Real-time tracking gives consultants, onboarding teams and senior stakeholders a clear view of every candidate’s progress, making it easier to prioritise activity, identify delays and make informed decisions.

The platform also provides a comprehensive audit trail, recording user actions and document submissions throughout the onboarding process. This has strengthened compliance governance, improved accountability and reduced risk across the business.

“Real-time tracking provides full visibility of onboarding progress for consultants, onboarding teams and senior stakeholders.“

Michelle Harding, Gattaca.

With better reporting and more meaningful operational data, Gattaca now has greater confidence in both its day-to-day processes and long-term decision-making.

Improving the experience for everyone

While the operational improvements have been significant, the positive impact on candidates and consultants has been just as important.

Candidates now benefit from a more structured and straightforward onboarding journey, with fewer duplicate requests and greater clarity throughout the process.

Consultants have instant visibility of progress, allowing them to communicate more proactively with clients and provide a better overall service.

The result is a faster, more professional onboarding experience that builds confidence for candidates, consultants and clients alike.

Ready for growth

As onboarding volumes continue to increase, Tifo has helped Gattaca scale efficiently without increasing resource.

By automating repetitive tasks, reducing administration and providing complete visibility across onboarding and compliance processes, the business has created a foundation for continued growth while maintaining control and consistency.

When asked whether they would recommend Tifo to other organisations, the answer was clear.

I would confidently recommend Tifo to any enterprise organisation looking to modernise and scale their onboarding and compliance processes, while improving visibility, control and overall service delivery.
