Temporary Support Staff
The flexible labour market is expanding and in particular, the number of temporary and contract staff in the workforce. In any given day in the UK, there are an estimated one million temps on assignment. Internationally the trend towards businesses utilising contract and temp staff has been steadily increasing.
We understand that the primary need of our clients is to recruit and develop a team of permanent employees who can become integral team members. However there are advantages to, and many occasions when, temporary staffing solutions are required.
Traditionally, temps have been used to fill urgent vacancies created by maternity and sick leave, annual vacation shortages or to undertake short term projects. They have also been used to overcome headcount freezes and provide job continuity during staff transitions. However, temping also plays an important role in “just-in-time” management practices. Companies have the staff they need when they need them without the fixed costs of permanent employment. They provide a viable option to manage peaks and troughs of cyclical demand in workload and as temps require minimum supervision they allow permanent staff time to concentrate on their responsibilities, ultimately saving time, money and resources.
Through our overseas agents, a cutting edge advertising and marketing campaign, referrals from past and current temps as well as client referrals, we are renowned as an employer of choice and as such, we continue to capture the best caliber candidates, enhancing our ability to provide the best to our clients.
SteppingStones qualified consultants rigorously screen and assess all candidates including interviews, testing and extensive reference checks. Our clients can therefore be assured of the caliber of the temporary staff provided by Steppingstones. Steppingstones covers all relocation, work permit, medical insurance, vacation, sick and bank holiday pay and pension contribution expenses and is responsible for attending to the welfare of our temporary staff. This reduces the financial and time costs and the stresses involved in relocating staff to the island. Contract employees are a highly cost effective recruitment option.
Our strength is our people. We provide quality staff to a wide variety of industries and are able to leverage the tremendous wealth of individual experience, skills and attributes that our support staff possess to provide our clients with a tailor made recruitment solution that works. Our company’s ethos of providing superior customer service is built on an immediate turn around time, and supplying a service which consistently exceeds client expectations.
