If you’re weighing up the pros and cons of using temps, we get it—there’s a lot to consider. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions we’ve been hearing lately:- 🧑🤝🧑 “Will temps really fit into my team?” A common concern, but the answer is yes! Temporary workers are used to stepping into new environments quickly. They’re adaptable, professional, and often bring a fresh perspective that can energise your existing team. 💰 “Aren’t temps expensive?” No. With temps, you only pay for the hours worked. The hourly rate will be agreed prior to the temp starting. This can often be more cost-effective than taking on permanent staff, especially for short-term needs. 🛠️ “Will temps have the skills I need?” Absolutely. Many temporary workers are highly experienced and bring specialist expertise, whether it’s to plug a skills gap, take on extra work, or cover while someone is away. They’re ready to get working immediately, saving you valuable time. ⏱️ “How quickly can I get someone in?” One of the biggest advantages of bringing in temp support is the speed. An agency with a good temp workforce should be able to supply someone within a matter of days—or even hours—depending on the skills required. This ensures you can keep things moving without delay. 📆 “How long can I book a temp for?” With most agencies, you can book a temp for as little as half a day or as long as several weeks, months, or even years! That’s the beauty of temporary support—it offers great flexibility while you sort out longer-term plans. ✅ “How do I make sure I get the right person for my team?” The key is working with an agency that’s thorough and reliable. A good agency will handle all the essential assessments and checks (backgrounds, references, right-to-work documentation, skills, and experience) and ensure they understand your business, team culture, and specific needs. This way, you get someone who’s not just skilled but also the right fit for your organisation—especially if they’re with you for a longer period. If you’re considering using temporary workers and have more questions, feel free to have a chat with one of our friendly consultants.

⚖️ Balancing holiday requests, unexpected absences, and winter illnesses while keeping your team running smoothly can be a real juggling act and often leads to unnecessary stress and disruption. 😣 With a spot of planning, you can help minimise potential problem areas:- ✅ Take stock of where your team might need extra support - don’t wait until it’s too late. 🔄 Cross-train or retrain team members so critical roles are covered, no matter what. 📋 Think about bringing in temporary cover to ease the load on your team - even to undertake basic tasks, this will create more time for the rest of the team to focus and remain productive (and keep up morale!)

Happy Friday, everyone! ☀️ Betsy, our unofficial office mascot, is such a joy to have around - she even inspires us to take sunny lunchtime walks on the beach (how lucky are we at the end of November?!🐕) That said, she’s looking a little unsure today… possibly because the Christmas decorations are going up later🎄, and she suspects a festive outfit might be coming her way! 🎅😆 Wishing you all a fabulous Friday! ✨ #HappyFriday #OfficeDog #ChristmasIsComing #FestiveVibes #BeachWalks

🤔 Keep recruitment in-house or work with an agency ❓ With 2025 just around the corner (and with significant changes from both the budget and The Employment Rights Bill), now is a good time to start thinking about your recruitment strategy for the new year. If you are considering managing your recruitment in-house and are new to this, there are some important factors to consider that could make all the difference to your success:- 💰 Rising advertising costs – Job adverts are more expensive than ever. Without careful setup and close monitoring, costs can quickly spiral. 🎯 Quality over quantity – More applicants don’t guarantee better options. A well-written ad with key criteria is vital for attracting the right applicants. ⏳ Limited time – Sifting through countless applications is time-consuming. It requires someone with experience to manage the process, ensuring every applicant is properly assessed, actioned, and responded to promptly. 🔍 Skills shortages – Even with more candidates applying for roles, finding the right skills is tough. Sometimes, identifying a candidate who can be cross-trained requires creative, lateral thinking. 💼 Hidden costs – Beyond advertising, rushed or resource-limited processes can lead to ineffective interviews, onboarding challenges, training expenses, and the risk of hiring the wrong person. If your recruitment plans feel like a challenge at this busy time, we’re here to help with guidance, support, and practical solutions to help you create a successful strategy for 2025. Call us and chat with one of our experienced consultants, who will be very happy to help: 📞 Guildford team: 01483 456465 📞 Worthing team: 01903 820082

💕 The Significance of the Poppy The poppy has become a powerful symbol of remembrance and hope, honouring those from the British and Commonwealth armed forces who have served and sacrificed for over a century. 🕊️ First worn to support the British Legion, it continues to unite us in remembering those who have defended democracy and freedom. 💥 Beyond the military, the poppy also recognises the contributions of civilian services and uniformed emergency responders who work to ensure national security. 💑 It pays tribute to the innocent lives affected by conflict and terrorism around the world. There’s no “right” way to wear a poppy; it’s a personal gesture of respect and support for all who have served, past and present. 🎖️ #ArmisticeDay #RememberanceDay #Peace #WeWillRemember #PoppyAppeal
