All individuals in our extensive temp staffing network are skilled, versatile and ready to hit the ground running at short notice.
Before we set to work sourcing the perfect temporary candidate for your business, your personal recruitment consultant will ask pertinent questions to gauge exactly what it is you’re looking for. We can do this over the telephone or at your office, whichever you prefer.

We rigorously screen all temp candidates before introducing them to our clients. As well as verifying identification, checking eligibility to work and assessing CVs, our face-to-face interview process involves competency-based questioning.
As soon as we’ve found the right match for you, we’ll make sure the candidate is well prepared for their assignment. We’ll provide them with information about the temporary position, your organisation and expectations such as dress code and working hours. Please enquire about hiring temp staff by sending an email to our recruitment consultant Auria at auria@orielpartners.co.uk.
"We have been very impressed with the candidates Oriel Partners have presented to us during our contract PA assignment, they were carefully selected and 'spot on.' Olivia has worked very hard to ensure great communication throughout the process and has always gone the extra mile offering valuable, pragmatic advice and a very professional service. I can't recommend Oriel Partners more, they have exceeded expectations and have secured a candidate who we feel is a perfect company fit as well as fulfilling our remit with regards to skills and ability. They will be our first port of call when we next come to recruit for an administrative role."
Operations Director, Holtby Turner Executive Search
"It’s the first time we have used Oriel Partners and we would definitely use their agency services again for the right role. The service is professional yet friendly, at pace and a successful placement made in a timely manner."
Sara Roden, HR Lead, Keep Britain Tidy
"I recently used the services of Olivia at Oriel Partners in our search for an Office Manager / HR Assistant. Olivia immediately came across as professional, personable, flexible, responsive and very easy to work with. She seemed to immediately understand our requirements and took the time to visit our offices to gain an understanding of environment and culture within the business. I was very impressed with the overall quality of all candidates; Olivia knew them all well and they were a good fit for our vacancy. I felt that it was a true partnership with Olivia where we were working together to find the perfect candidate. I would highly recommend Olivia and Oriel Partners."
Head of HR, GAN plc
