Recruitment agencies are being given a chance to hire a temp with a difference during National Temporary Workers Week which runs from June 2nd to June 6th.

For staff at the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), the trade association for the UKís private recruitment industry, will be offering their professional services for a day to members with membersí proceeds going to the Cancer Research Campaign.

The initiative called REC Temps will be held during National Temporary Workers Week, the RECís annual flagship event, when members through a silent auction will be invited to bid for the services of any member of staff who is included in a special ìTemps Availableî directory.

The directory will include profiles of all staff participating in REC Temps and the member putting forward the highest bid will secure their services. Successful agencies can then liaise directly with the member of staff for whom they have bid to decide the date on which they can come and work for them as a temp.

Are you involved in recruiting or HR? If yes, you should think about attending the Onrec.com Online Recruitment Conference & Exhibition - Topics and Speakers listed here. Complete this enquiry form and a member of the Onrec.com team will be in touch.

The skills REC staff can offer include web design, legal and compliance health-checks, training planning, data entry, finance or strategic planning, public relations and marketing, reception duties and event planning.

Helen Reynolds, the RECís Deputy Chief Executive Officer said: ìWe thought REC Temps would be the perfect way for staff to show their support for National Temporary Workers Week.

ìWe have so many talented individuals within the organisation that have their own specialist skills which would be of benefit to members, so we hope we receive many lucrative offers during the silent auction.î

Members who would like to find out more about REC Temps or would like to participate in the silent auction should email rectemps@rec.uk.com. Full details will also appear on the REC website
