Tempo, the alliance for recruitment agencies and hirers that are committed to raising standards in the temporary recruitment industry, today announces that there has been a very positive industry response to its launch in January.
Since its launch, the alliance has seen considerable demand for membership from recruitment agencies and to date Tempo has signed up more than 50 members, demonstrating the industry’s commitment to raising standards and creating best practice processes.
Notable recruitment leaders that are heralding the alliance include:
· Tony Bucciero, Managing Director of Templine comments: "The founding principles behind Tempo dovetail nicely with Templine's overall approach towards customer liaison, ethical trading and the development of industry standards as a whole. This is why Templine will be one of Tempo's first members and we look forward to contributing to the overall objectives of the organisation accordingly."
· Chris Cass, Managing Director of Concept Recruitment Group Ltd adds: “The Concept Recruitment Group is really pleased to be part of the Tempo alliance. Any membership body that aims to drive improved standards within the recruitment market and offers further benefits in terms of procurement, training and legal support is certainly a welcome addition to the sector.”
· Adam Holby, Director of XP Recruitment also comments: “XP Recruitment chose to join Tempo to remain at the cutting edge of the recruitment industry. Our marketplace is constantly changing and we felt that to remain at the forefront we needed to adapt with it. The regular auditing and development of our processes will allow our teams to continue to stand out in the sectors that we work within.”
The first Annual General Meeting of Tempo will be held on 29 May 2013, at which a steering group of agency and client representatives will be elected.
Keith Faulkner, Chair of Tempo adds: “The recruitment industry landscape is changing at a rapid pace, with temporary workers accounting for more and more of the UK workforce and fuelling the economic growth of the country. The CIPD recently announced that 29 per cent of all new recruits will be employed on a temporary basis.
“There was a clear industry need for an organisation to take a balanced view of the requirements of hirers, agencies and workers involved in temporary labour. The level of interest we have received to date makes it abundantly clear that as a sector there is significant hunger to collaborate, share knowledge and establish best practice guidelines.”
