Frequently Asked Questions
While previous assembly line experience is a plus, it's not always essential. We value reliability, a willingness to learn, and a good work ethic above all. Many successful candidates come from backgrounds in warehousing, as a CSCS Labourer, retail, or hospitality where similar skills like teamwork, pace, and attention to detail are key. Full training on specific products and machinery is provided on-site.
Most of our assembly roles operate on a two-shift or three-shift pattern. Common options include: Early Shift (6am - 2pm), Late Shift (2pm - 10pm), and occasionally Night Shift (10pm - 6am) which often carries a higher rate of pay. We discuss availability during registration to match you with suitable shifts. For more on flexible work structures, see our insights on building a modern temp workforce.
Temping Agency runs a weekly payroll. You will be paid for all hours worked in a given week, typically one week in arrears. This means you'll receive your first payment approximately 7-10 days after starting work, followed by regular weekly payments every Friday. All payments are made via BACS directly to your bank account, with a clear payslip detailing your hours, rate, and deductions.
Yes, absolutely. Many of our temporary assignments are used by clients as an extended interview process. If you demonstrate strong performance, reliability, and a good fit with the team, the client often offers a permanent contract. We actively encourage and facilitate this temp-to-perm transition. It's a proven pathway to secure employment with reputable local companies.
