Truly Tenacious Temps

Whilst job-hopping will make you look like an unstable or troublesome candidate, working temporary contracts via a recruitment agency will actually work in your favour.

The job market has, and remains to be very tough for the majority of people, so when a candidate can show that they’re willing to work in any environment, for any amount of money, that shows an outstanding work ethic.

Explain that whilst looking for your next role. Being out of work wasn’t an option. Many people find it impossible to sit at home being unproductive after being in full time work for so long. We’ve seen people who are used to £40,000k+ salaries, but will happily work in a warehouse for £6.31ph whilst between jobs.
