At Precision People we offer specialist contract recruitment services for engineering, technical and management roles. The roles we can supply contractors to vary widely from a team of Electrical Engineers on a six-week contract to Facilities Managers on a 12-month contract. Contact our team to discuss the extensive list of roles we cover.

While both are similar, there are differences between contract and temporary recruitment. Contract recruitment involves hiring professionals for a fixed term to complete specific projects, often ranging from around 3 months to a year in length. Temp recruitment provides short-term workers for immediate needs, often for more general roles (eg Welders) to cover absences or peak periods. This can be for as little as 1 or 2 days to a few weeks or months at a time.

Contract recruitment offers flexibility, access to specialised skills, and is cost-efficient hiring solution. It allows businesses to quickly fill short-term needs, manage workload spikes, and reduce long-term employment costs while still obtaining high-quality talent for specific projects or tasks.

Hiring a contractor for the first time can seem a bit daunting, but it’s actually quite straightforward. Here’s a simple breakdown of the process:

Initial Consultation: First, we’ll have a chat to understand your specific needs.

Job Specification: Based on our conversation, we’ll create a detailed job specification.

Talent Search: With the job spec in hand, we dive into our extensive network of skilled contractors

Candidate Shortlist: We’ll present you with a shortlist of candidates who meet your criteria.

Interview and Selection: You’ll have the opportunity to interview the shortlisted candidates.

Offer and Acceptance: Once you’ve selected your preferred candidate, we handle the offer process.

Onboarding: We support the onboarding process to ensure your new contractor gets up to speed quickly by checking in regularly with you for updates and feedback.

In short yes you can. If you hire a contractor and after 12 weeks you decide you would like to offer them a permanent role and the contractor accepts, this can be arranged through us for a relevant fee.

We ensure the quality of our contractors because our recruitment consultants who specialise in placing contractors thoroughly vet and verify each candidate. Our experts build personal and professional relationships with contractors to make sure they understand their skills and reliability. This process, coupled with established track records and client testimonials, guarantees the best fit for your project needs.

To find the right contract role, it’s important to identify your skills and interests, research potential industries, and network with professionals.
