Hi Melinda - saw Third Hand Care is in care staffing. I build AI + WhatsApp availability systems for temp staffing teams. Happy to compare notes?

Hi Melinda, saw you're Registered Manager at Third Hand Care, and Third Hand Care looks focused on both temporary and permanent care staffing for care homes, domiciliary providers and NHS teams around Surrey and surrounding areas. Based on my experience, coordination for temp positions can get very manual: checking who's free, who's sick, who can't make it, and who can cover at short notice. So we built a simple but powerful AI + WhatsApp availability system for staffing teams. It's already live with Revised Recruitment, a temp teacher supply agency. The idea is pretty simple: workers keep using WhatsApp, AI does the chasing and matching in the background, and your team keeps control. Curious if this is a pain point at Third Hand Care? Cheers, Russ

Hi Melinda, I had Third Hand Care down as both temporary and permanent care staffing for care homes, domiciliary providers and NHS teams around Surrey and surrounding areas. If that's right, I imagine the messy bit is still availability: who is free, who is off sick, who cancelled, and what needs a human decision. We built a simple AI + WhatsApp system for that workflow, and it is already live with Revised Recruitment in temp teacher supply. Worth sending over the short overview? Cheers, Russ

Hi Melinda, Quick follow-up. The useful bit is that workers don't have to change behaviour. They still use WhatsApp. The system sits behind it: checks availability, chases responses, suggests matches, handles cancellations, and keeps the live view tidy for the team. Worth comparing notes? Cheers, Russ

Hi Melinda, The reason I thought of Third Hand Care: temp staffing teams usually don't need another heavy platform. They need the day-to-day chasing to get lighter. AI can do the repetitive availability and booking admin, while the agency stays in control. Is that something you are trying to improve? Cheers, Russ

Hi Melinda, I'll leave this here for now. If availability, sickness, cancellations or last-minute cover are a drag at Third Hand Care, happy to show what we built. Cheers, Russ
