Crew beyond who you know.
Trovero checks the credentials, runs compliance in the background, and keeps everyone across every production in one live view.
Reach and Trust
A bigger pool without lowering the bar
Nobody starts from an empty pool. Your existing crew come onto Trovero with you, and everyone you meet after that carries a record you can check.
Beyond your contacts
A marketplace puts qualified people in front of you who have never worked for you before.
Matched on meaning
Trovero reads what a role actually needs, not just the words in the description, and weighs who has done comparable work before.
Available, not just qualified
Candidates are filtered by declared availability, travel radius and current documents, so the people you see can actually take the job.
Checked, not claimed
Right to work, insurance and professional credentials are backed by documents with expiry dates, not taken on the worker's word.
Earned, not rated
Reputation is built from engagements that actually ran and completed, not from reviews anyone can write.
Compliance
Risks move up the chain.
As the blended workforce takes hold, regulators are tightening the line between genuine freelancing and disguised employment, and raising the penalties for getting it wrong. In the UK, that has meant a steady shift in who carries the risk.
The determination is still yours to make. Trovero gives you what you need to make it and the record to defend it. Documents, credentials and prior determinations are verified and current, so you decide on facts rather than on what someone put in an email. Checks then run at the point of booking, anything that fails is flagged before an engagement starts. Every check, override, and approval is logged. If you are asked years later what you checked and when, the answer is already there.
2017
Responsibility shifts
The UK's off-payroll working rules, known as IR35, changed for the public sector. The organisation engaging a contractor, rather than the contractor, became responsible for deciding how that person is taxed.
April 2021
It reaches private business
The same rules extended to the private sector. Businesses now make that determination themselves, and carry the tax liability if it is wrong.
2021 to 2024
The bills arrive
HM Revenue & Customs, the UK tax authority, recovered £87.9m from the Department for Work and Pensions, £33.5m from the Home Office and £12.5m from HM Courts and Tribunals Service over incorrect status decisions. Each had used HMRC's own status-checking tool.
April 2026
Liability spreads
Where an umbrella company, an intermediary that employs and pays temporary workers, fails to pay payroll tax, HMRC can now recover it from the agency in the chain, or from the end client where no agency is involved. There is no statutory defence.
Rules current as of July 2026. Sources: HMRC guidance and published departmental accounts.
Independence
We earn the same whoever you book.
Reaching beyond your existing contacts usually means going through a company that supplies people. Their pool becomes the limit of your reach, and their costs are part of the rate you pay.
We don't supply people
Every engagement is between you and the worker, through their own company or whatever arrangement they already use. Trovero is not a party to it and adds nobody to your supply chain.
No favourites
You pay Trovero a subscription. What you pay does not change with who you book or what you pay them, so no candidate is worth more to us than another.
The record follows the person
A worker's history is not tied to one client or one way of contracting. They can change umbrella, move between freelance and staff, or work somewhere else entirely, and the record holds. What you are reading is their whole track record, not one company's slice of it.
Continuity
What the business knows,
not what someone remembers
Crewing knowledge sits with one or two people: who is good, who is free, who worked which show, what went wrong last time. It is valuable, it is fragile, and it leaves when they do.
Trovero turns that into something the business holds. You see who is free instead of ringing round to find out. Every production in flight, and everything needing attention today, sits on one screen that anyone with the right access can read without a briefing from whoever built the plan. Cover, handover and a scheduler’s holiday stop being a risk.
Every production leaves you better at crewing the next one. That compounds, and it does not walk out of the door.
We are building Trovero with production companies now.

A walkthrough against the kind of productions you crew, not a slide deck.
Shape what gets built
We work with a small number of production companies in UK broadcast. Early access, direct influence on the roadmap, and support when we launch.
