Temp Staffing FAQs

Here are some common questions companies looking to hire a temp ask us about our service. For more information about our temp hiring process, please get in touch.

How quickly can you find me a temporary hire?

We aim to place a temp within hours, depending on your requirements. Many of our candidates are pre-screened, reference-checked and available immediately. Once we understand your needs, we’ll shortlist and send profiles within the same day, ensuring you have someone in place as quickly as possible.

What happens if the temp isn’t the right fit?

If a temp isn’t suitable, we’ll provide a replacement quickly. We check in regularly to ensure satisfaction, and if any concerns arise, we’ll resolve them immediately. Our goal is to make sure you’re never left without the right support.

Do I have to commit to a minimum contract length?

No, there’s no minimum contract length. You can hire a temp for as little as one day or as long as several months to a year, depending on your needs. If you’re unsure how long you’ll need support, we offer flexible arrangements, so you’re never locked into a commitment.

Can I hire a temp with the option to make them permanent?

Yes, we offer temp-to-hire recruiting, allowing you to trial a candidate before making a permanent offer. If you decide to keep them on, we’ll manage the transition smoothly, and our temp-to-hire fees are structured to make this a cost-effective option for your business.

How do you ensure the candidates are reliable and capable?

We rigorously vet all our candidates through in-depth interviews, reference checks and skills assessments. We only work with professionals who have proven experience in business support roles and a track record of reliability. This ensures every temp we place is competent, adaptable and ready to hit the ground running.

What are the costs involved in hiring a temp?

Our temp fees include the candidate’s hourly or daily wage plus our agency fee, which covers all legal contributions, including national insurance, pension contributions and holiday pay. Rates vary based on the role and level of experience required. We provide a full breakdown upfront so you know exactly what to expect before proceeding with hiring temporary staff.

Can you help if I need multiple temps at once?

Yes, we can supply multiple temps simultaneously, whether you need short-term cover for a project, seasonal support or to fill multiple positions. Our extensive candidate network allows us to place several high-quality professionals at short notice while maintaining the same level of service and attention to detail.

What types of roles do you specialise in filling?

We specialise in placing high-calibre business support professionals, including personal assistants, executive assistants, administrators, office managers, receptionists, private PAs and more. Whether you need last-minute holiday cover or long-term maternity leave support, we’ll find a talented individual who can step in seamlessly.
