            FAQ’s for employers

            How quickly can you place a payroll temp or contractor?

            Most roles can be filled within 1–3 working days, depending on complexity and notice period.

            Do you handle contractor timesheets and payments?

            Yes — we provide a fully managed service, including weekly timesheets, approvals, and payroll.

            Are your temps and contractors PAYE or Ltd?

            We offer both. We’ll advise on IR35 status, supply fully compliant contracts, and manage onboarding.

            Can we convert a temp into a permanent hire?

            Absolutely. Many of our clients start with a contract and convert to perm once the fit is confirmed.
