Temp4us.co.uk launched to drive the last minute temp market

Agencies gain new business leads and an enhanced temp pool

Britishjobs.net Ltd has announced the launch of temp4us.co.uk, a web service dedicated to matching temps to short lead time temporary contracts. temp4us, an extension to Britishjobs.net''s regional recruitment network, works for agencies in three ways; firstly, existing candidate contacts are immediately emailed with vacancy details. Secondly, additional selected contacts, who registered directly via temp4us, are automatically added to expand the reach of the search. Finally, members receive targeted new business leads from employers using the temp4us site.

Britishjobs.net member agencies can place posi tions on temp4us with just one extra mouse click. As soon as the vacancy is on the system, emails
advertising the position are sent to candidates who match the location and role criteria.

Matching temporary staff to immediate vacancies is a constant challenge, even for agencies with the biggest temp books, said Graham Miles, managing director, Britishjobs.net. He continued: We developed temp4us, using our locally based sites as a foundation, to enable our members to source staff fast. By placing a vacancy on temp4us an agency immediately reaches a pool of relevant staff, saving huge amounts of telephone time. In addition, temp4us directly delivers new business opportunities by recommending relevant member agencies to employers who enquire via the site.

Having temp4us make the first pass contact with candidates will free up a lot of time for our consultants, said Paul Haynes, managing director of A1 Personnel in Basildon. Locally targeted Internet recruitment advertising, really makes sense to recruiters and candidates, so is an advantage in business development. In my view, any agency that is not doing it, needs to be.

temp4us is accessible directly via temp4us.co.uk or www.temp4us.co.uk and via each of the town, county and regional sites in the britishjobs.net network.
