Hiring Should Not Feel Like a Gamble

  • One named consultant

    The same person every time, who knows your site, your shift patterns and your standards. No explaining yourself twice.

  • Everyone is vetted before you see them

    We meet candidates, verify right-to-work documents and take up references ourselves. You get people who can actually do the job, not a CV forwarded blind.

  • Fast, honest cover

    Ring us, tell us what you need, and we tell you straight whether we can fill it. No false promises to win the booking.

  • Compliance and payroll handled

    PAYE, insurance, holiday accrual and timesheets are our problem, not your HR department's.

Book Staff in Three Steps

  1. Tell us what you need

    Role, shift times, location, duration. One call or the online form, whichever suits.

  2. We shortlist and brief

    You get candidates matched to the brief, already checked for right-to-work and references.

  3. They start. You stay in control

    Confirm timesheets, extend, or convert to permanent whenever you're ready.

Questions Employers Ask Us

How quickly can you supply temporary staff?

Often within the same week, and sometimes sooner. Ring us with the role, shift times and site, and we'll tell you straight whether we can fill it. Same-day and next-day cover is strongest in London and the South East; other regions are usually booked further ahead.

What does it cost to hire temp staff through an agency?

You pay an hourly rate that depends on the role, the shift pattern and how long you need someone. The rate covers PAYE, employer's National Insurance, holiday accrual, insurance and payroll admin, so there's no separate admin bill. Ring us with the details and we'll quote before anyone starts.

Do you handle right-to-work checks and references?

Yes. We meet candidates, check their right-to-work documents and take up references ourselves before you see a name. If a role needs a DBS check or a specific licence, tell us up front and we'll check that too.

Can we take someone on permanently after a temp placement?

Yes. You can trial someone on a temporary basis and move them onto your payroll when you're ready. A conversion fee may apply depending on how long they've worked with you, and we'll agree it with you before the placement starts.

Which areas of the UK do you cover?

We place staff across the UK, from London and the South East to the Midlands, the North and Scotland. The full list of areas is on this page. If you're somewhere else, ask us anyway and we'll tell you honestly what's possible.

What's the difference between temporary, temp-to-perm and contract staffing?

Temporary means a worker on our payroll covering a defined gap. Temp-to-perm starts the same way, with an agreed route onto your payroll. Contract staffing is usually a longer fixed-term arrangement for a specific project or skill.

Short of Staff? Let's Sort It.

Three Ways to Hire

Temporary, temp-to-perm and contract staffing all work differently. This is the short version.

Temporary Temp-to-perm Contract
What it is A worker on our payroll covering a defined gap. Starts as temporary, with an agreed route onto your payroll. A longer fixed-term arrangement for a project or a specific skill.
Best for Sickness, holidays, peaks and short-notice cover. Trialling someone before you commit to a permanent hire. Projects, backfills and longer pieces of work.
Payroll and compliance Ours: PAYE, holiday accrual, insurance and timesheets. Ours until the day they move to your payroll. Agreed per placement before it starts.
Ending or converting Extend or end it as your needs change. A conversion fee may apply. We agree it up front. Agreed per placement.

Rates and fees depend on the role, the shift pattern and how long you need someone. We quote before anyone starts.

What’s Included in Every Booking

  • Right to work checks. We check documents before anyone reaches your site.
  • References taken up. We speak to previous employers ourselves.
  • Compliance and payroll handled. PAYE, employer’s National Insurance, holiday accrual, insurance and timesheets sit with us.
  • A named consultant. The same person every time, who knows your shift patterns and your standards.
  • Honest fill rates. If we can’t fill a shift, you hear it early enough to plan around it.
  • A proper briefing. Workers know the site, the start time and the rules before day one.

How a Booking Works


  1. Tell us what you need

    Role, shift times, site and how long. One call or the online form.


  2. We match and brief

    You get people matched to the brief, already checked and briefed on your site.


  3. They start. You stay in control

    Confirm timesheets, extend, or move them onto your payroll when you are ready.

Questions Employers Ask About Our Services

Which service line should I choose?

Pick the one closest to the work and don’t worry if it’s not an exact fit. Tell us the role, the shifts and the site, and your consultant will say honestly whether we can fill it and how.

Can you supply a mix of roles for one site?

Yes. A site might need pickers, a dispatch clerk and a receptionist in the same week. One named consultant looks after the whole booking, so you only explain your site once.

Do your workers need licences or certificates?

Only if the role calls for them, such as a counterbalance forklift licence, food hygiene or a DBS check. Tell us up front and we’ll check them before anyone starts.

Can I use you alongside another agency?

Of course. Many employers keep a preferred supplier list. Add us alongside it, send us the roles you struggle to fill, and we’ll tell you straight what we can do.

Tell Us What You Need.

Ring us with the role, the shifts and the site. We will tell you what we can do.
