You need temporary help fast. What now?
 
You know the situation. You have a planned or emergency need for temporary staff. But who do you call?

Your requirement is simple. You want a properly qualified temporary who will arrive on time, properly equipped. Someone who looks the part and whose attitude is good. And, of course, you expect to be dealt with professionally by the recruitment consultancy you use.

How can you make sure these modest needs are met first time?

You can dramatically improve your chances of success by choosing a member of the recruitment industry association, REC.

All REC members work to codes of conduct which stipulate best recruitment and customer handling practice. Potential members are rigorously checked to ensure that they too will operate to the codes.

When you choose a REC member you choose a company which will:

  • Ensure that temporary workers are suitable for the assignments for which they are put forward by obtaining detailed information on your requirements and by proper selection procedures including, where appropriate, skills testing.
     
  • Well qualified temporaries every time.
     
  • Wherever possible take up references on temporary staff before assigning them to clients. And if this has not been possible you are informed of this fact so that you may decide whether to accept or decline that temporary worker.
     
  • So you know your temporary is well regarded by previous employers.
     
  • Always comply fully with current legislation relating to statutory payroll deductions from temporary staff.
     
  • You can be sure that no such liability will inadvertently be incurred by you.
     
  • Always agree clear terms of business with you as soon as possible after receipt of your booking.
     
  • You know exactly what you will be charged and what guarantees apply to the service.

Only REC members publicly state their compliance with these vital quality standards - it follows that only REC members should be on your selection list. The REC logo is you guarantee of approved standards - use it to choose your recruitment consultancy.
