If you use agency staff, their problems are your problems.
Unpaid wages, withheld passports, illegal recruitment fees, visa threats. It rarely starts in your organisation, but it lands on your desk. Agency Scanner watches the public record for every agency you use, every week, and tells you the moment something looks wrong.
Always-on monitoring
Reviews, news, forums and regulators scanned continuously through the week.
Only what matters
Every hit is scored for exploitation and compliance risk. Noise is discarded.

The exposure
The rules moved. The liability moved with them.
Labour supply chains are being pulled into scope from every direction at once. "We used a third party" has stopped being a defence.
Joint and Several Liability
Where an agency or umbrella fails to pay what it owes, the debt can travel up the chain to the end user. You inherit a problem you never saw being created.
Right to work and immigration
Sponsorship abuse and visa coercion are enforcement priorities. Penalties, licence action and reputational damage follow the organisation the worker was placed with.
Modern slavery duties
Illegal fees, document retention and debt bondage inside your supply chain are your reporting problem. Regulators ask what monitoring you had in place.
It goes public first
Workers post before they complain. By the time a story, a review or a regulator's notice reaches you, it has usually been visible for months.
The false sense of security
A check is a moment. Risk isn't.
Most organisations already have a process. A supplier goes through checks at onboarding, gets re-papered after a year, maybe sits through an audit. That was defensible five years ago.
It isn't now. A point-in-time check only tells you what a supplier wanted you to see on the day you looked. And it has never been easier to look clean for one day. AI-written policies, generic accreditation paperwork, a call that goes well, none of it tells you what's happening on shift next Tuesday.
The question regulators and journalists ask isn't "did you check them once." It's "what were you watching for since."
Whether you use five agencies or five hundred, manual checks stop scaling long before risk does.
The uncomfortable question is not whether something is wrong in your supply chain. It is whether you would find out from a dashboard, or from an inspector, a journalist or a claim.

How it works
Set up your supplier list once. Then just read the summary.
Load your agencies
Import your supplier list, with trading names and review profiles where you have them. Five rows or five hundred, it makes no difference.
We work the list
Scans run continuously through the week across every source, filtered to UK staffing context so you are not reading irrelevant noise.
You review what surfaced
Each week you get a scored list of new risk mentions, sourced and dated, ready to action or record as checked.
You will be asked what you were doing to check.
Have an answer. Agency Scanner gives you a dated, evidenced record of your supply chain monitoring, and a warning before the problem becomes public.
