Here are the benefits our candidates receive while working for Essential:

Permanent Contract Opportunities

We offer temp to perm opportunities where clients can place their hardworking candidates into permanent roles. These are normally offered after the candidate’s successful first 12 weeks however some clients do offer permanent contracts before 12 weeks. In 2020, we placed over 370 candidates into permanent placements. Take a look at some of our candidates who now enjoy the security of a permanent contract:

Temp of the Month

Every month we run a Temp of the Month competition where our clients’ and branches nominate candidates who they feel deserve recognition for their dedication to the role. Each nominee receives a box of chocolates for being nominated and is put forward with a nomination statement. Our Facebook followers vote for their favourite and the winner gets a £50 voucher!
