Why do businesses want to use Tempsmarket?
Tempsmarket is a unique online recruitment tool for businesses to hire temporary and contract staff at a fraction of the cost of a high-street agency.

Tempsmarket places a business in control of their recruitment needs, by providing access to a pool of labour to search and match the right temporary or contract worker for their work assignment.

In the same way as a high-street recruitment ageny, a business will not have to employ the temporary worker directly, that's taken care of by our Umbrella Company partner, Parasol (UK) Group. The business will receive a simple, itemised invoice every week / month for the people who work with them.

Tempsmarket is also a perfect way of recruiting for permanent staff members, as we do not charge a business any Temp-to-Perm fees for taking on a temporary worker full-time.
