Temporary Roles

Working closely alongside our permanent employees, we have a specialist temps division at our London office, experienced in hiring the best candidates, quickly and with minimum fuss – all at competitive hourly rates for each role. Many temp candidates choose to work only through us, as we are known for looking after them, providing sound advice and excellent career opportunities. The benefit this reputation gives us, and therefore you is access to the highest-calibre people.

Before placing anyone with you, we will meet you so we can see at first hand what is needed to get the right people for your office environment. Whether you are looking to hire a PA for one day, holiday cover, sickness cover or a temp-to-perm or contract position, we will source the right candidate for the time-frame you need.

How we source your temporary support

We spend a lot of time on our interviewing and selection process, so we get to know our candidates’ work history, skills and personality. Which means we always put them forward for the opportunities that suit their strengths, and you get the right people for your vacancies. They come to you reference-checked, and we adhere to all the Agency Workers Regulations, so the paperwork is done and your temps are ready to hit the ground running.

Also, because we look after our temps so well, we get the same candidates coming back to us again and again. So when you need a temp, we can get you one who has been tried and tested, and even one who has worked for you before.

Our service to you

We can turn a temp booking round within an hour, and if, in the rare situation, we cannot provide the right cover in the time you need, we will always give you other options as a back-up and keep in regular communication with you.
