For employers

Our fee, before you ring.

Put in the salary. You get the fee, the rebate and how long it usually takes. Temporary cover works out as an hourly charge rate.

How we work

Straight with both sides.

We ring every candidate

A CV is not a person. We talk to everyone we put forward, and tell you what we think of them, including the awkward bits.

Fees out in the open

Our rates are on the website with a calculator. No retainers, no exclusivity clauses and no surprise "admin" fees.

Paperwork done properly

Right to work, DBS, CSCS, licences. We check with the source, and keep the expiry dates, so you are not caught out.

Straight with both sides

Candidates hear about the difficult manager. Employers hear about the salary being low. It saves everybody a bad first week.

  • 12%lowest permanent fee, on first-year salary
  • 12weeks of sliding rebate on every placement
  • 6amwhen our temp line opens
  • £0what a candidate ever pays us

Sample reviews

From both sides of the desk.

Employer, warehouse

Rang at ten past six with two down on the morning shift. Two people at the gate by half seven, both with boots on, both inducted before. That is the whole job, really, and most agencies cannot do it.

Debbie L.Distribution manager, Pencoed
Candidate, office

Sian rewrote my CV by mostly deleting it, and told me honestly that one of the two jobs had a manager who goes through people quickly. I took the other. Three years on, I am still here.

Cerys M.Accounts assistant, Bridgend
Employer, care home

They turned down my request for a nurse the same day because the registration check had not come back. I was cross for an hour, and then I remembered why I use them.

Questions from both sides

Do I have to pay to find a job through you?

No. An employment agency in this country cannot charge a work-seeker for finding work, and we do not. Be wary of anyone who asks for money upfront for training or "registration" as a condition of a job.

What does it cost an employer?

Permanent placements are 12%, 15% or 18% of first-year salary by level, payable only when someone starts, with a twelve-week sliding rebate. Temporary staff are charged at about 32% above pay, with payroll, holiday pay and pension included. The employer calculator shows your figure.

What do I need to bring to register?

Proof of your right to work, such as a passport or a share code. Any licences, cards or certificates for the work you do, and a CV if you have one. If you do not, we will help you put one together.

How quickly can you fill a job?

Temps often the same morning for warehouse and production work. Permanent office and driving jobs are usually two to three weeks. Senior roles take six to eight. We will tell you honestly at the start.

Are the jobs on this site real?

On this demonstration site, no. They are samples and the search works on them, but there is no employer behind them. On a real site this would be a live list.

When do temps get paid?

Every Friday, for the week before, into your bank. Timesheets are due by Monday lunchtime. You get holiday pay and a pension, with payslips showing everything.

Looking for work, or looking for someone?

Register in ten minutes and we will ring you, or tell us about the job and we will come and see it. Free for candidates, and no fee for employers unless someone starts.
