TIFA Connect includes the only ATS purpose-built for UK supported accommodation. DBS, Right-to-Work, references, contracts — tracked, scored, and inspection-ready. When a candidate is hired, they're in induction the same day. No re-entry. No separate platforms. No gaps.
← Back to TIFA Connect homeMost supported accommodation providers reconstruct compliance evidence under pressure when CIW or Ofsted arrive. DBS records in spreadsheets. Reference responses in lost emails. Right-to-Work scans on someone's hard drive. Three weeks before inspection becomes three weeks of frantic assembly.
TIFA Connect tracks every compliance check as a structured object — DBS, Right-to-Work, references, contract — with status, owner, due date, and evidence trail. The Compliance Dashboard surfaces what's cleared, what's pending, what's blocked, and where the bottleneck is across every candidate in pre-employment.
When the inspector arrives, the audit pack is one click. Full PDF export — every candidate, every check, every timestamp, every document. Built for CIW, Ofsted, and CQC inspection requirements.
Every vacancy gets a pipeline. Every candidate moves through nine stages — Applied through Hired — with drag-and-drop on desktop, swipe gestures on mobile. Days-in-stage shows traffic-light urgency. Star ratings and AI fit scores let you prioritise the right candidates without reading every CV.
AI Sift reads each CV when it arrives. Scores fit 1 to 100 against the role and the cohort. Suggests shortlist, reject, or phone screen. Identifies the specific questions to ask each candidate based on what's in their CV and what's missing. The recruiter reviews and decides — AI never auto-rejects, never auto-progresses. It just removes the bulk-reading work so you spend time on the candidates who matter.
Most providers run hiring in one platform and onboarding in another. The new starter exists as a candidate in the ATS, then has to be re-entered as a staff record in the operational system, then re-entered again into the training tracker, then re-entered again for property access. Four data entries, four chances for inconsistency, four reasons why new starters wait two weeks for their first shift.
TIFA Connect closes that loop. The "Hire this candidate" wizard creates the staff record, optional property assignments, the user account with welcome invite, the induction record, and the training plan with target completion dates — all in one transaction. The new starter is in induction the same day. The candidate record stays linked to the staff record permanently, so future audits trace the full journey from application to hire.

Core is built for very small providers running a single property or two. The ATS becomes worth the investment from the point you're hiring more than two or three staff a year.
