The Biscuit Temp Team
Biscuit Recruitment have a dedicated temporary recruitment team, who offer short term office placements to skilled individuals based in the UK. We work within a wide range of industries, supplying top candidates with the necessary skills to ‘hit the ground running’. This allows our clients to focus on their own tasks, resting easy in the knowledge that all work is being completed to the professional standards that are expected.
For Clients
Working with our temporary recruitment team, we place recruits who are right for our clients' roles. Unlike many temp agencies, we don’t just place the first person we get in the first spot available, our team have been trained to understand and appreciate specific client requirements. As such, we are adept at placing individuals with the experience and necessary skills in the right positions.
Many of our temporary placements join our clients' teams in a full time capacity due to the skills, resourcefulness and professional outlook of our candidates.
For Candidates
At Biscuit Recruitment, we make a promise to our candidates; to provide a professional service and exceed their expectations. We make this promise because in the world of careers, especially those careers at the top businesses we regularly supply to, only the very best will do.
One of the most important factors to us is honesty with our clients and our candidates. Whether you are looking to temp while you secure a new perm role, wish to earn some money throughout term time or before going off travelling, we can help.
Whilst we cannot in any way guarantee that a temporary position will lead to a full-time role, many temporary positions do have the potential to become full time if the client is adequately impressed with the candidate's work skills or ethics. Following on from this, temporary placements are often a chance to work within highly successful business and gain a range of valuable skills and insights.
FAQ
What is temp work?
As a busy London recruitment agency, we work with a portfolio of clients – meeting any needs they may have. As such, we regularly get asked to find candidates to fill a range of different roles and positions within the business.
These positions can be full-time, for instance if an employee leaves and needs replacing. Sometimes the positions are part-time, perhaps because the business is trying something new or an employee needs help to manage a workload. Often, however, our clients are seeking temporary workers, usually because they need help with a backlog, require more staff over a busy period or have a specific task that they need help with (such as an event.)
How long is a temporary job?
Unfortunately there is no one answer – it depends entirely on our clients' needs. Some of the assignments last half a day and others are ongoing, lasting more than 12 months. We make it very clear how long a position is likely to last prior to confirming any temporary work with our candidates.
What do I need to do temp work?
In order to secure temp work we expect a basic level of computer skill, such as typing 50 words per minute or faster and having strong MS Office skills. We typically place our candidates in environments where they are likely to succeed – for those who are concerned about their lack of office related skills, our temp positions are often a great way to acquire new skills by providing cover for junior secretaries and administrators. All temporary positions require a valid UK work visa.
Why should I choose you?
Many temp agencies are faceless and impersonal – candidates become a number waiting in line to be served. Because our background is grounded in a more personal approach, we ensure that both our clients and our candidates are happy with their position, and that both are making the most of the opportunity.
This difference is important, because we hold the belief that skills acquisition and job satisfaction are among the two most important features of any placement. Regardless of employment duration, it is by concentrating on these factors that we ensure the best candidates for our clients, and the most rewarding roles for our candidates.
