For growing security and events businesses
Connect applicants, employees and shifts.
One input. Many uses.
Pair takes each new starter from application to the rota. It gathers what you need to screen them to BS 7858 before you hire, then onboards them and puts them on shifts, without re-entering information or piecing it together from different systems.
What your schedulers need to know
- 01Which shifts are still uncovered, and who can fill them?
- 02Is everyone on the rota cleared, licensed and in date?
- 03Who actually worked, and for how long?
- 04What needs sorting first today?
Customer story
How Gryphon cut the time from application to first shift from 61 days to 14
Gryphon Safety and Security needed to take on casual staff fast without adding to its operations team.
Pair worked with Gryphon to redesign how it hires. Each candidate's details are entered once and carried from application through screening and contract to their first shift. That process is now built into Pair.
* Average time from application to first shift, July 2024 compared with March 2025. It includes the time applicants take to send the information BS 7858 screening needs, so people are screened before they start work, not after they're employed.
From application to shift
Screened before day one, not after
Gather everything BS 7858 screening needs before you employ anyone. It's far easier to stop at the offer than to end someone's employment later. One record follows each person from application to first shift, and nothing is typed in twice.
- 1
Apply
Applications and CVs arrive from your website form. You decide who to take forward.
- 2
Screen
Before you hire, Pair gathers what BS 7858 screening needs: ID, five or ten years' history and a credit check. Your team sees what's missing and any gaps in employment history, then completes the screening.
- 3
Onboard
Pay details, employment statement and contract, signed online. New starters appear on your dashboard.
- 4
Schedule
Cleared people go straight onto the rota and see their shifts in the Pair Staffing app. Send shifts to subcontractors and they can see and fill them.
SIA licences checked for you
Pair checks SIA licences without anyone visiting the SIA website, and highlights qualifications close to expiry.
Shift workers are free
They don't count towards the 10 users included in your subscription, however many you schedule.
You stay in control of compliance
Pair gathers the information and shows what's outstanding. Your team carries out the screening, checks original documents and remains responsible for BS 7858.
The Pair Staffing app
Getting your staff onto Pair couldn't be easier
Applicants don't need an app or an account. Until they're hired, everything happens through emails and web forms Pair sends them.
- 1Once hired, they get a link to the app
- 2They set a password
- 3They're ready for their first shift
In the free app, staff apply for open shifts, get a notification when they're confirmed and tap for directions to the site. On the day, they clock in and out with a swipe, so you can see who's on site and the hours they actually worked. If they can't make a shift, they tell you in the app before it starts.

Martyn's Law PortalAdd-on or standalone
Your clients have new duties. Help them manage them.
Martyn's Law gives many venues and events new legal responsibilities for preparing for a terrorist attack. The duties are expected to come into force in spring 2027, and many are turning to their security provider to help them manage it.
The portal gives you a structured way to support them. It helps each client work through their new duties, record the decisions they make and why, and keep that evidence ready for when the SIA assesses their compliance.

- Events
- Premises that host events
- Single-site operators
