Never used an agency before? Not sure how using temporary workers can benefit you?

We have listed some reasons below for your organisation to consider when you’re in need of extra staffing:

1. Flexibility

Temporary workers allow you to respond to the demands of your organisation on a more reactive basis, whether you are experiencing an increase or decrease in your demand for services.

For example, you have an increase in orders, temporary workers can be hired to help your existing staff to get this product out to your consumer.

Need to temporarily close one of your production lines? You are more prepared when using temporary workers as you can easily decrease your workforce, rather than letting permanent staff go.

2. Cover unexpected changes

You may experience changes to your permanent workforce, such as long term illnesses and maternity leave, where you can use temporary workers to cover the absence of these workers until they return to work.

3. Help with peak periods

Temporary workers are a great way to help your current workforce with the demands of peak periods throughout the year, such as Christmas and Easter.

4. Cost Effective

By using an agency to recruit for extra staff you are saving money from outsourced costs such as marketing & advertising, payroll and compliance checks.

5. Saves you the time and hassle of in-house recruiting

An agency already has a bank of registered candidates who have been pre-screened, right to work verified, visa checked, reference checked, FLT verification checked etc. and are ready to be placed into work.

6. “Try before you buy” concept

If you’ve recruited new permanent staff who then turn out to not be suited to the role – you’ve now just wasted your time and money! Temporary workers are a great way to see if an individual fits into your organisation and you can assess the worker’s attitude towards work before offering them a permanent contract.
