THE SERVICE FOR JOB SEEKERS

Temporary

Freedom to choose when and where to work is one of the main benefits of temping. Office Personnel has a large database of clients requiring temps for short, medium and long term bookings. Our friendly, helpful consultant will provide full information on both the job and the employer. Temps are automatically entered into the ‘Temp of the Month’ competition and are invited to social evenings. Appointments for registration are available in the evenings so there is no need to lose an hours pay!

"Thank you so much for your help in finding work, I was really impressed by your professional yet friendly manner."
Laurie Murdoch

Permanent

Office Personnel have an extensive range of permanent office and sales vacancies. Our friendly, professional consultants will provide advice and guidance through the complete process from initial registration to settling into the ideal job. Full job and company profiles are available for all vacancies. Consultants are happy to interview in the evenings for your convenience.

"I wanted to thank you for your professionalism.  I must say, I've registered with a few agencies and I appreciated your honesty in relation to the job market and also the fact that you took the time to find out my skills etc. whilst registering rather than a number like some agencies."
Julie Locker

A GUIDE TO OUR SERVICES

People often wonder what happens to their CV once they give it to an agency.  Here we would like to answer questions you may have about Office Personnel and our service to you.

When we receive your CV one of our trained consultants will review it to establish your skills, background and qualifications.  We make every effort to respond to you within 48 hours either by telephone, email or letter.  Occasionally it can take a bit longer especially during busy times such as summer holidays or the start of a new year.  If we are not able to reach you within a week please drop us an email or give us a call.  We pride ourselves on responding to each and every person that gives us their CV but we can only do this if you have provided us with all your contact details.  Sometimes the gremlins get the emails or the post runs a little slower than normal also so please do bear that in mind!  Do remember to check your emails often when you have given your CV to agencies.  Email is often the quickest method of contact and many agencies use email to contact people.

Once we have reviewed your CV we will endeavor to find the right job for your requirements.  We deal with a broad range of clients from a variety of industries.  Do remember that while we always do our best to find every person a suitable job, all clients have specific criteria for the person they employ.  If we do not have a vacancy for you right away we will keep your details on our system so that if something becomes available we can get in contact with you.  Don't be disheartened if there isn't a vacancy for you right away clients contact us regularly with new, exciting positions.

We may ask you to come in for an interview with one of our consultants.  A full interview with a consultant will take about 45-60 minutes.  While it's human nature to be nervous about any interview, we are here to help you and we don't bite!  You will need to bring photo ID and proof that you are eligible to work in the UK.  For permanent placements you will need to give us two references from previous employers or their contact details.  We will only contact them once you have received an offer of employment.  For temporary placements we will need two references which we need to check before you can start your temp assignments.

If you have any questions about our services don't hesitate to ask.  Our consultants are trained and experienced people who pride themselves on being helpful and friendly.  Your career is an extremely important part of your life and we understand that.  Recruitment agencies are a service industry and we always try to provide you with the best possible service that we can.

The consultant who interviews you will be with you every step of the way from the first informal chat to the day you begin your new job and beyond.

Please remember to keep in touch and ensure the contact details we have for you are up to date so that we can keep you updated on any new vacancies.  You can contact us anytime by email or phone.  Email is often the easiest way as it prevents playing telephone tennis!
