ALF Recruit launches Temporary and Interims Division with focus on quality standards

Recruitment consultancy ALF Recruit has launched a new Temporary and Interims Division, aiming to raise standards in the temp hiring market.

The move comes in response to growing demand from employers for short-term staffing solutions that do not compromise on quality. Businesses across the UK are facing mounting costs from vacancies, with unfilled roles estimated to cost thousands of pounds each week, and poor hiring decisions adding further expense.

ALF Recruit said the new division is designed to ensure temporary and interim workers are subject to the same assessment process as permanent hires, challenging the perception that temp recruitment is a quick-fix solution.

“Temporary recruitment has often been seen as transactional,” said Gavin Reynolds, Director and Founder at ALF Recruit.

“But the reality is that a vacancy can have a major financial impact on a business. Our approach is to treat temporary hiring with the same rigour as permanent recruitment, giving employers confidence in both the speed and the standard of cover.”

The launch of the temporary and interims arm follows the firm’s establishment earlier this year, when it began by focusing on permanent hires. Having built that service first, the business is now expanding into temporary recruitment to meet wider market needs.

The launch reflects a wider trend in the labour market, where employers are increasingly relying on temporary and contract workers to maintain workforce flexibility during periods of economic uncertainty.

ALF Recruit’s consultants will provide short-term placements across multiple sectors, offering cover for periods ranging from a single day to several months.
