An Introduction to Temporary Employment    

Close  

The face of employment in the UK is changing on a regular basis, in particular employers are open to alternative working practices, adopting flexi-time options and temporary workers. Most companies whether an SME or a large corporate undergoes times of busy periods and slow periods. Temporary workers cover these times as well as bringing a wide range of skills and experience to a role. Often temporary roles cover those on maternity leave and good 'temps' will often see themselves being offered a full time job.

Employment under these terms are very similar to any other type of employment, except you are more likely to be paid on an hourly basis, must maintain a timesheet and the majority operate via agencies.

Assist is creating an online solution that specialises in administration and support roles on a temporary and contractual basis with no middle men (basically no agencies). Candidates and employers communicate directly; temporary workers promote themselves; it is a nationwide initiative; there are no agency interviews and employers don't pay hefty fees - giving them and you the space to negotiate terms. This new approach aims to not only provide a solution that has been dictated by you the user but to also head the change in attitude to recognise the value of temporary workers to all UK businesses.
