The case for temporary workers
The financial recruitment market is a constantly evolving environment and one of the most rapidly developing areas in recent years has been temporary and contract recruitment. Changes linked to the economy and alterations in employment law have led to a vast increase in the popularity of the temporary option from both the client and candidates point of view.
Temporary staff are a vital resource for any organisation experiencing sustained periods of growth, significant internal change or simply enjoying busy times. Hiring a temporary finance professional through Select Accountancy can have multiple benefits to your business, for instance: specialist assistance during process improvements or systems implementation, expert guidance through transitional periods and cover for sustained absenteeism or maternity.

On completion of this we interrogate our database and work as a team of consultants to generate a list of potential candidates. We verbally contact candidates and filter them to create a short-list in line with the clients’ instructions.

Once in the assignment we maintain regular client and candidate contact whilst remaining mindful that we maintain a respectful distance.
