FAQs: For Employers Using Our Temp-to-Perm Plan

Quick answers to common questions we get from site managers.

How long does the process take?

There’s no fixed timeframe. We build a conversion path that suits your site and the candidate. Some convert after week one, others take longer. It’s about readiness, not a stopwatch.
What happens if a candidate isn’t right?

We stay close. If it’s not working, we step in fast, reviewing feedback, adjusting the match, and replacing if needed. It’s rare, but we’re ready.
Can you help with short-term or emergency cover?

Yes. We specialise in temp-to-perm, but can also support peak cover, backfill, or project-based needs where appropriate.
Do you meet every candidate in person?

Yes. We interview, reference-check, and brief every worker face to face. You get someone who’s ready, not just available.
What sectors do you recruit for?

We cover food production, packaging, logistics, warehousing, light assembly and engineering support across Sussex, Surrey and Kent.
How quickly can you find staff?

Often within 24–48 hours. But it’s never rushed and we only send people once we’re confident they’re site-ready.

Recruitment That Works Because We Own the Process.
