History
The team behind JoinedUp know high-volume temp workforce management like few others. As co-founders of Milestone, the award-winning independent recruitment agency with a £55m turnover acquired by Staffline plc in 2015, we have direct experience of the challenges faced by both agency owners and end-hirers.
We combine this sharp-end experience with a world-class in-house development team.
