In short

What you need to know.
Before the cell-by-cell detail.

Tool for Staffing (T4S), published in Montpellier by SAS SFBA, is an ATS + CRM with an AI assistant, Talia, for agencies, temp staffing and IT services firms: LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp and text message sequences, multi-posting to 1,000+ job sites, call and video-call transcripts, and a client portal for shortlists. Marvin covers the same core and stands apart on the contract back office (assignments, contractor-submitted timesheets, day-rate invoicing), timesheet sign-off in the client portal, an MCP server and a public price.
