Right4staff is the first national recruitment company to participate in the new government funded initiative, Slivers of Time Working, which targets anyone who has spare hours that they would like to sell to local employers.
The scheme, is an online market which allows individuals who need to find work around other commitments in their life to list their precise hours of availability. Employers needing irregular topup workers can then buy those hours. Right4staff has initially launched the scheme in Sheffield and later this summer will do the same in Nottingham and Wakefield, with other locations to follow.
Right4staff will be responsible for attracting and inducting candidates to the scheme and placing them with both existing and new clients in addition to handling all the administration. Potential clients and candidates can register interest and get more information at www.right4staff.com/sliversoftime or e-mail sliversoftime@right4staff.com or text ñ 07624809646
Jess Watts, Managing Director at right4staff, said:î There are millions of potential workers in the UK can only be available for work around other commitments in their life such as childcare, studying, medical issues, existing part-time work or caring for a dependant adult. Many employers would like access to a pool of top-up workers who could be hired by the hour, maybe at very short notice such as
caterers, retailers, logistics suppliers, local authorities and healthcare. We believe this will be a valuable addition to our more traditional recruitment business and one that will benefit clients and candidates alike.î
The Slivers-of-Time initiative allows individuals to list the exact hours in any given day when they are willing to work and set out ìMy Termsî which dictate the kind of bookings they will do and how they are priced for them. They will be rewarded for reliability by moving up a ladder of market levels.
Buyers in this market already include the London Boroughs of Newham and Tower Hamlets, British Waterways, local charities, educational establishments and housing associations. These buyers are able to input their exact requirements and then see immediately who is eligible to do that job with each person priced and ranked for reliability.
Sarah Lawton at Slivers of Time said: ì Our pilot has been a great success and has shown us that people really want to work this way. It provides a personalised route into full time employment for some and a means to build experience for others. For many employers this ultra-flexible workforce can significantly cut costs and increase efficiency.î
