Weighted score: ✅ = 1, 🟡 = 0.5, ➖ not counted. A criterion the vendor does not document publicly is left out of both scores.
In summary
Access Recruitment CRM Evo, from The Access Group, is a configurable CRM aimed at high-volume temp agencies. Paired with Access Pay and Bill, it covers the whole temp chain: timesheets by mobile, email or portal, one-click client approval, payroll for PAYE, contractor, limited company and umbrella workers, payslips and invoices; both are priced on application. Access Evo adds AI candidate scoring, summaries and enrichment. Marvin is the lighter choice for contractors paid at a day rate: half-day timesheets, client sign-off without an account and the invoice in the same tool. Marvin does not run PAYE or RTI payroll, decide IR35 status or handle hourly timesheets: for an hourly, payroll-heavy temp desk, Access goes further.
