Many of our clients use temporary recruitment as a way to fill gaps in the workplace, from covering a long period of leave to adding extra staff for short term projects.

However not many take advantage of the additional benefit of recruiting on a temporary to permanent basis.  We have found that this is a great way to ‘try before you buy’ when recruiting for permanent staff.

Here are some of the benefits of recruiting on a temporary to permanent basis:

  • Faster turn around: Experienced contractors are often available at short notice, so the hiring process is quicker than hiring a permanent employee.
  • Cost efficient: Pricing transparency allows you to budget and control the costs for your workers.
  • Fully compliant: Our dedicated Operations Support team ensures workers are fully screened and legally compliant before starting work – we authenticate qualifications, obtain references, collect and check proof of ID, references and the right to work.
  • Simplifying the process: We will be there to support you every step of the way. We include full HR support during the length of the contract and we will draw up all documentation – meaning less paperwork for you to complete. They are our employee so we write the contract, look after their timesheets, perform appraisals and deal with any employment issues.
  • In-house payroll: We can handle payroll for you through our own Payroll team, with the cost of this included in the recruitment fee.
  • Only pay for the weeks worked: You don’t pay any additional fees if the worker were to leave.

A brilliant way to make sure that they are the right candidate for you!
