With 2017 drawing to a close, you may have already considered employing a temporary staff member to cover employee holidays or peak season requirements over the Christmas period. There may be certain tasks that require additional assistance to ensure you and your staff are prepared for the upcoming Christmas and New Year period.

Taking on Temporary Staff for Christmas

Reception cover – to ensure your brand is represented both when meeting customers in person and over the phone
Administration – If your staff have booked holidays Temporary Administrators will provide peace of mind during this period

Why Use 2i Recruit for Taking on Temporary Staff for Christmas?

Save Time

At 2i Recruit, we have multiple temporary staff members who are available to fill in at short notice. We ensure that temporary staff are vetted by our team in person before they are sent to you. We do this by checking their IT Skills to ensure they can use day-to-day IT packages such as Excel and Word. We can also test for more niche IT Skills if this is required. Additionally, we ensure their eligibility to work in the UK.

Cost Effective

Often the most important thing to consider when weighing up costs is whether a staff member will be effective in carrying out the duties of their role. At 2i Recruit, many of our staff will have completed assignments through our agency before and therefore come highly recommended.
