Here at MLT Recruitment we understand that employing people is a tricky business. You have to balance the workload you have with the amount of staff you need. It’s easy when you have a steady stream of work, in fact the problems only arise when there’s an inconsistent level of workload which makes management infinitely harder to handle.
As an example, let’s take a ‘made up’ manufacturing business based locally here in Plymouth. They’re awarded a new contract that means that for the next six weeks, they’re going to be incredibly busy fulfilling the order. The problem is, once that order’s fulfilled, the workload is going to return to a normal level, so the recruitment of full-time permanent staff to meet that order is completely unsustainable. It simple won’t stack up from a commercial point of view and could end up costing a fortune.
The answer, in this instance, is easy … temps.
As the name suggests, temps are in fact temporary by nature and here at MLT Recruitment we have significant experience in meeting employee demands by recruiting them. In some situations, we’ve recruited ‘teams of temps’ just to meet spikes in demand required by new contracts and better still we handle all their pay, all you get is a single invoice to settle.
Can you imagine going to the time, effort and expense of recruiting full-time staff, just to let them go as soon as the workload goes back to normal? That doesn’t make sense for you the client or in fact for them as employees, the employment market simple doesn’t work like that.
Temps offer the ultimate flexible solution. They arrive, do the job that’s asked of them and then leave as soon as it’s done. It’s a cost-effective solution for clients and invariably suits those people that specifically choose to work that way. Think about it, there’s no pension contributions to make, no holiday pay due and no redundancy payments to make if that were ever required.
The key to it being a good solution is recruitment and finding the ‘right people’ in the first place.
The MLT Recruitment team have over 50 years combined experience of finding those ‘right people’. Our recruitment specialists are on hand to offer straightforward, effective solutions and we pride ourselves on building strong, lasting relationships with our clients and candidates.
