For Clients
Employing staff on a temporary basis, or as part of a short term contract, gives you greater flexibility in two ways:
- The first relates to short term or interim needs where specific skills or experience for a given period of time are required to satisfy a strategic plan.
- The second, specifically where temping is concerned, is the opportunity to test a potential permanent staff member’s suitability for a role. This gives you the reassurance of making the right decision on competency and team fit. Using this method can prove more cost effective in avoiding having to spend time and money on future recruiting costs if the temporary person is not suited, for whatever reason, to your particular organisation.
- All our temporary workers represent Hayden Marsh so we ask for a standard of work and professionalism that is best reflected in our temporary guide.
- We fully reference every temporary worker, providing you with three years worth of references as a minimum standard.
- We ensure all of our temporary workers are paid promptly and provided with an ongoing tally of accrued holiday for one reason: we treat them as permanent staff so they act like permanent staff for you.

Your Rights and Salaries
Temporary and contract work carries with it many of the working rights of a permanent role, with the flexibility to allow you to gain more work experience in differing environments at a salary that is often comparable to permanent work.
Experience
Cumulative experience counts in interviews when you are looking for further work so temporary or contract/interim assignments really do matter. Companies budget for temporary or contract work to address strategic needs which include everything from specific skill shortages to cover for staff leave. Temporary assignments are also a very useful way of working in some leading companies, which complement your CV.
Permanency
A substantial proportion of our temporary assignments lead to permanent roles, which can often lead to a few more benefits and the knowledge and security (if preferred) of permanent employment. A temporary assignment through Hayden Marsh is a very good way of obtaining work in your chosen industry or organisation. Call us and we can discuss our contacts and options for you.
Generally
We employ between 65 and 105 temporary people a week (as of May 2008) across the financial and commercial sectors. Feedback from our clients and candidates reflects our attention to detail in managing temporary and contract assignments.
