We Do Temps
The key to a successful business? A strong team working together to meet business objectives.
Achieving that, and ensuring the consistency of a talented team despite resignations, sickness and holidays, is arguably the hardest part. But there is a solution that we can help you with – temps!
It is estimated that there are around 1.62 million temporary workers in the United Kingdom (Statista, 2023). It’s a significant part of the country’s workforce, yet many businesses and jobseekers alike haven’t ever considered it as an option.
Niche Temp Talent Pool
There are a huge number of benefits on both sides including flexibility, immediacy and scalability. At Niche Recruitment we have strong temp workforce offering a diverse range of skills, helping our clients to plug those staffing gaps whether it’s due to sickness, reluctancy to hire permanently or a sudden need for an extra pair of hands (or two).
It’s one of those ‘if you know, you know’ scenarios. The established clients we work with give us lots of positive feedback about how temps can bring real value and offer tangible assistance when it’s needed most. Appointing a temp can also prove useful in helping hiring managers to decide whether a permanent addition to their team would be advantageous. In fact, 80% of temps have their contracts extended and 60% of our temp placements are eventually offered permanent or fixed-term contracts with clients.
For us, it’s all about ensuring the candidates in these roles are of the right calibre and the right fit – enthusiastic, competent, and ready to hit the ground running as soon as they walk through the door That’s why it’s vital that we put the same effort into sourcing and placing out temps as we do for candidates looking for permanent roles.
Why Use Niche For Your Temporary Needs
There’s a misconception with some employers that temps will be ‘more hassle than they’re worth’ – but from our experience and from that of our clients, the opposite is true (as the stats show). The very nature of temping encourages the candidate to develop wide-ranging experience across a spectrum of activities, allowing them to turn their hand to many different tasks with ease.
At Niche Recruitment we make the process straightforward for those clients looking for quality, short-term solutions to their staffing issues. We undertake video interviews on behalf of our clients which they then review from a shortlist before making their decision. It’s a tried and tested way for us to relieve some of the recruitment burden companies can face – particularly when they’re already short-staffed and needing a quick resolution.
And if you’re concerned about payrolling and compliance, Niche Recruitment has you covered. We take on the payrolling responsibilities and have a dedicated Compliance Co-Ordinator in house, to ensure a smooth, quick, and easy transition into your workforce.
With a robust yet efficient interview process, a bank of quality candidates with a wealth of experience and even payroll support, Niche Recruitment are setting the standards for temp placements.
