As a market-leading temping agency, we fill short and long-term positions daily. Some of our temp jobs last for just half a day while others are ongoing for up to 18 months. Undertaking temp work is ideal while you are looking for your perfect permanent job, if you wish to earn money during your university holidays, or if you are visiting the UK on a fixed-term visa.
If you are looking for a fixed-term contract such as maternity leave cover, or if you would like to temp before taking on a permanent position, we can help you find work nationally and internationally. Temping is a fantastic way to ‘try before you buy’, and many of our temps go on to secure permanent work with their employer.
Before applying for a temp role, you should update your CV to detail your most relevant experience and skills. Tailor your CV to suit the job requirements. For more information on how to apply for temp jobs, read our guide on CV tips.
Which temp jobs do you recruit?
When you become a registered candidate, you can keep us updated with your day-to-day availability. It allows you to alert our consultants with your current and future availability to help you find a job efficiently.
We recruit for business support temp jobs in the UK and beyond, in addition to HR interim roles, hospitality temp jobs and technology contract roles.
How do temp agencies work?
If you’re looking to sign up to a temp agency for temp work, submit your details or apply for a job on our website. Should your experience be relevant to the jobs we’re recruiting, we will invite you to meet with us for an initial registration interview to find out more about what you’re looking for. As we receive thousands of applications each week, unfortunately, we can’t get back to everyone. If you are able to accept our invitation to interview, however, we will also ask you to complete skills testing and provide two sets of referee contact details. If you’ve noted that you’re open to temp and contract positions, we will call you if an opportunity becomes available.
During your temporary placement, you can submit and track your weekly timesheets in real time via our online timesheets portal. Through the portal, you can complete your timesheet at your convenience and submit your hours directly onto our payroll system.
Once submitted, the timesheet is sent to your authoriser to be approved; you’ll then receive an automated email to confirm that your timesheet has been accepted so you can be paid in the next weekly payroll run.
Do temp agencies pay holiday pay?
Yes, your hourly rate that you are paid will include holiday pay, your pension contribution, national insurance contribution along with any expenses or bonuses.
How quickly can a temp agency find me a job?
It depends! Sometimes we place candidates into temporary roles on the same day we meet them. At other times it can be a little while before the right opportunity arises. If you can be flexible with your availability, hourly rate and job criteria, you are more likely to find a role sooner.
How much do temp agencies pay?
It depends on the seniority of the role and the employer. Receptionist positions might start at £13 per hour, while executive assistants can command hourly rates of up to £70 per hour. Your consultant will be able to discuss the likely pay rate you should expect at the registration interview.
Should I quit my job for a temp job?
We have a number of temps on our books who work as full-time temps. If you’re interested in leaving your permanent position to pursue a career as a temp, it can be done – however your success will depend on a number of factors such as the wider job market, your experience and your long-term goals. Have a conversation with your consultant at the registration interview to get a better idea of what options may be available to you.
How do I find temp jobs?
Occasionally, our temp jobs are called in at the last minute, leaving us with limited time to advertise the role and call potential candidates in to interview. This means that we rely on a pool of reliable temps whom we are able to reach out to with immediate temporary requirements. If you’re registered with us, we recommend that you keep us updated on your availability and send us your updated CV. Flexibility is also key. The temps who are most often asked to return by companies most often are those who have proven their reliability for temporary assignments.
