Who we are
Recruitment built for the speed of temporary work.
Starff started with a simple frustration: employers couldn’t fill shifts fast enough, and good workers couldn’t find reliable ones. We built one agency to fix both — sector-specialist, compliance-first, and genuinely quick.
Our mission
Match the right people to the right shift — fast, and fairly
We’re a London-based temporary recruitment agency serving employers and jobseekers across four sectors that never slow down. Our job is to remove the friction between a vacant shift and a vetted worker ready to fill it.
That means real vetting, transparent pay, and a team that answers the phone — not a faceless portal. When we place someone, both sides win.
What we stand for
Four principles behind every placement
⚡
Speed
Most shifts matched within two hours. When demand spikes, we move faster than a job board ever could.
🛡️
Compliance
Right-to-work, ID and sector certifications verified before anyone starts. No exceptions, no risk to you.
⏱️
Reliability
A 98% fulfilment rate isn’t luck. It’s a deep, engaged pool of workers who show up and do the job.
🤝
Fairness
Weekly pay, holiday entitlement and honest margins. We treat workers the way we’d want to be treated.

How we got here
From a single warehouse contract to four sectors
It started on the warehouse floor
Founded to solve one logistics client’s chronic staffing gaps. We learned that speed and compliance, together, are what employers really pay for.
Workers told us what was broken
Late pay, no communication, vetting done twice. We rebuilt the candidate experience around one verification and weekly, reliable pay.
We went deep, not wide
Rather than recruit for everything, we specialised in logistics, events, construction and delivery — the sectors where we could be genuinely excellent.
Built for an app-first future
Today every shift, document and timesheet runs through one system — the same one powering the Starff app that puts shifts in workers’ pockets.
Let's talk staffing
Hiring or job-hunting, the conversation starts the same way — with a quick call. We’ll take it from there.
