About Us
Temporary Jobs
TEMPORARY jobs are an ideal opportunity to continue working if you are in-between jobs, only have limited time available or simply like to remain flexible. Assignments could last anywhere between one day to several months depending upon the specific need and can be full-time or part-time hours. The job skills required depend totally on the different industry requirements.
What does it cost...This service is free to job seekers. Clients are charged an hourly rate plus VAT which is fully inclusive of Employers National Insurance Contribution and any accrued Holiday Pay which is invoiced weekly.
To be considered for temporary jobs, candidates must...
- attend their local branch to complete registration forms and have a short informal interview;
- present their current CV (if appropriate)
- present their passport or full birth certificate for identification and to clarify any working restrictions;
- provide referee details to whom we can write to and these returned references must be satisfactory and held on file before work is offered.
Offer of work... Once all the above requirements have been met, candidates are then placed on the “available” register. The time it takes to secure a temporary assignment depends entirely upon the candidate’s availability and job skills.
Work will be offered subject to meeting the minimum criteria of an assignment. This is usually by telephone due to the short timescale's involved. The assignment details are followed up in writing in the form of a confirmation letter. This will be accompanied by any other relevant paperwork i.e. timesheets, tax and bank forms.
Pay... Temporary workers are paid by the hour which is processed weekly on production of an authorised time sheet. The hourly rate, again, depends upon the specific work offered. The only deduction that will be made from the weekly wage will be Tax and Employees National Insurance contributions at the appropriate rate.
Permanent Jobs
PERMANENT JOB SEEKERS are usually candidates who are currently employed in a permanent position and who are looking for a move to advance their career prospects.
What does it cost... This service is entirely free to job seekers. As a client, our service is charged only when a permanent position has been successfully filled and the candidate starts work. This charge is for the introduction of a candidate and is a percentage of the annual salary offered.
To be considered for a permanent opportunity candidates must:
- Initially present their CV either in person, by post, fax or email;
- Once a suitable opportunity has been identified candidates must attend an informal interview with the appropriate Recruitment Consultant. This can be conducted outside normal working hours, if needed.
- Present their passport or full birth certificate for identification and clarify any working restrictions.
Candidates CV’s are presented to Clients in the form of a short list.
Interviews... Once the client has selected interview candidates from the shortlist, interviews are arranged at a mutually convenient time. Masterstaff provides support to the candidates throughout the interview process.
Job Offer... After the interview stage the client will notify the consultant at Masterstaff of the outcome of the interviews. All candidates are notified via Masterstaff irrespective of the outcome and feedback from the interview is relayed to them. When a candidate is successful at interview and receives the offer of employment, Masterstaff continues to provide support and liase directly with the candidate into the start of the employment.
