Temporary to Permanent Staffing Solution

Between March 2023 and late summer, the client experienced a sudden increase in staffing demand. While agency staff provided vital cover, the client wanted a more sustainable, cost-effective long-term solution without compromising quality or fit.

Key challenges included:

High agency costs over extended periods
The need for consistency for young people in care
Candidate hesitation around committing to permanent roles
Concerns from permanent-seeking candidates about temporary-to-permanent security

We introduced a temporary-to-permanent staffing model, allowing the client to:

Assess candidates in real working environments
Maintain consistency with familiar agency staff
Spread recruitment costs over time
Reduce the risk associated with direct permanent recruitment

Throughout the process, clear communication and reassurance were essential. We supported candidates closely, addressing concerns around flexibility, job security, and long-term prospects, while keeping the client fully informed at every stage.

✔ Successfully filled multiple permanent positions
✔ Reduced long-term agency expenditure
✔ Faster start dates using already-cleared agency workers
✔ Smooth integration into permanent teams
✔ Improved stability and continuity of care

Because candidates were already vetted and working through us, they were able to start immediately, transitioning seamlessly while permanent compliance checks were completed.

Both client and candidates reported high satisfaction, with roles secured that suited their needs and working styles.
