Direct Engagement.
Complete Compliance.
Full Control.
Kova gives recruitment agencies a direct, compliant way to onboard, engage and pay workers — with payroll, reporting and compliance managed in one platform.
Workforce operations, designed to be straightforward.
Kova is the operating layer for direct workforce engagement — built around the four principles that shape every decision we make.
Direct
No unnecessary layers. The agency owns the worker relationship, the data, the cashflow and the costs.
Compliance
PAYE, CIS, IR35, AWR and right to work built in from day one. Owned by you, managed by our team.
Control
Full visibility over workers, costs, payroll and reporting on a flat, predictable weekly fee.
Transparency
Every payment explained. Every process visible. Nothing hidden anywhere in the chain.
Four steps from job order to paid worker.
One platform across the workforce lifecycle. No spreadsheet handovers, no umbrella black box, no missing audit trail.
Onboard
Self-serve onboarding with digital RTW, contracts and bank capture — workers ready to deploy in minutes.
Engage
Assignments, IR35 determinations and AWR clocks tracked from day one against the worker record.
