Why Use Temporary Staff?

It provides you with the flexibility to respond to peaks and troughs of workload; there are numerous occasions when using a temporary contractor is the most sensible, beneficial and economic route for you to take, without the extra commitments that a new full-time staff member would demand.

Because of our experience and expertise, you'll be surprised at just how quickly they slot into place in your organisation. What's more, we'll handle all the payroll duties for temporary staff, leaving you free to concentrate on more important commercial issues.

Temporary staff can cover:

• Holidays
• Maternity/paternity leave
• Sickness
• Sudden surges in demand/Unexpected peaks in workload
• Backlogs that need clearing
• While a permanent replacement is being sought

Permanent Appointments - Lasting Solutions

These are some of the most important decisions your organisation will make. So, we're here to help you make the right ones. With 20 years' successful experience, we know all too well that the people in your organisation are your most valuable assets. That's why, before we even start thinking of suitable candidates, we'll work hard to get to know you, your business, its philosophy and its aims.

Only by doing this will we find you the ideal candidate - a candidate who will fit in from day one. Of course, it's a two-way process. We also go out of our way to get to know our candidates. Vigorous interviews conducted face-to-face by our consultants ensure we fully understand their career aims, abilities, personality and aspirations. Our consultants can also provide expert advice on current salary levels, market trends, conditions of service and other important aspects of filling vacancies. We should also add that all of our consultants have been trained internally to the highest possible standards.

Therefore, it's clear to see how we at Setsquare succeed time and again in permanent appointments. The strong relationships forged between the client, our consultant and the candidate means clear and consistent communication and understanding every step of the way. In short, it's a highly trusted, efficient and professional approach that works.

Of course, if you're not entirely sure, then "Temp to Perm" is a method that has benefits for both parties. Staff are employed on temporary contracts, thus allowing clients to assess their suitability, and then decide on commitment. This arrangement is also beneficial to Candidates who after a time working with you can be confident they are making the right career move.
