What are the benefits of interim and contract recruitment for the employer?

The benefits of interim and contract recruitment centre are saving your business time, money and resources. Some of the main benefits to temporary staffing for businesses include being able to cover seasonal fluctuations and unexpected absences, offer increased flexibility on project work, and recruit quicker and more effectively to suit the needs of your organisation.

When should my business make the switch from temporary to permanent employment?

Hiring temporary staff can help fix a short-term issue or support a large project. Once you’ve secured the right talent to help grow your business in the short term, begin to think about how those employees could help you impose sustainability and constant growth in a permanent role. As a temp recruitment agency, our temp-to-perm hiring process is a flexible and bespoke approach that can support your team.

How can the risk for a recruitment agency hiring a temporary employee be managed?

The risks when hiring a temporary employee differ, from fraudulent paperwork through to undisclosed criminal convictions. When it comes to managing the risks of hiring temporary employees, you should consider developing an employee screening policy that includes carrying out identity checks, adverse financial checks and criminal record checks specifically on temporary and contract staff and not just those in permanent positions.
