This year has been a rollercoaster, to say the least. It has thrown so many business obstacles at us which I’m sure none of us thought we would ever experience.
One thing that we can all agree on is that this year has shown that business flexibility and agility are key to gaining that advantage over your competitors.
Using Summerley Recruitment for temp staff
One way in which we at Summerley Recruitment can support this is by providing temporary staff for your business. This allows your workforce to grow and reduce dramatically when needed in a short period of time, whilst saving you time on admin, onboarding, and training.
With a lot of the industry opening back up on December 2nd, the demand is going to go from 0-100 very quickly. This could create strain for the frontline team, or cause headaches for managers when looking at their rotas for the month and over Christmas. This is especially important if they feel they don’t have the staff numbers they require or what to do with the extra staff with the uncertainty that early 2021 brings, the potential for further restrictions, who knows?
This particular predicament will raise a few questions for you and your teams;
- Do I have budget to advertise for new staff?
- Do I have time to look through CVs?
- Do I have time to arrange and attend interviews?
- Do have time to onboard new team members and run them through payroll each week or at the end of the month?
- What if their skills don’t match up with what they had on their CVs?
- Will I be able to give them hours if demand drops?
With time short between now and then end of the year, these questions are amplified and can have a significantly bigger impact.
How using a temporary recruitment agency can help
By using an agency for temporary staff you can solve all these problems as the legwork is already done for you.
You will have;
- An experienced team ready to go.
- No admin workload for payroll or onboarding.
- If the demand drops quickly, temp staff can be reduced or stopped again, requiring no admin or further back office work, saving you time.
