Temping agency for the arb industry

[janey]

... Agencies charge a fortune for staff, good or bad..

 

 

That's not always the case. Specialised, niche agencies do charge stupid amounts and frequently pass on very little of that to the worker. However, more generalised companies tend to offer a much better deal to all parties.

 

I've worked for several now and the pay I receive and what the agency claims can vary enormously.

Very unlikley, my experiance of agncey staff is that most of them struggle to pick their own nose.

Back in the very early 90's I worked for an agency @ Lambeth , Woking, Dagenham etc all over but it was for LA's . The LA's paid roughly £12 an hour and it was split £6 for me and £6 for the agency... They could afford to pay that as it was cheaper for temp staff than having them on the books and use people when needed.

Good money for the agency and flexibility for the LA the good thing for me was that a Irish pub locally to the agency would cash the cheque ! but not the best money for the worker but kept you busy..Then temp workers never had any rights but has that not changed ?

As mentioned if you have a good relationship with freelancers in your area they will move things around to help back scratching and all that. Things can be moved forward and rearranged its a thing called communication! I have to be flexible and sometimes move a job especially if an emergency arises and that fact my customers understand.

Maybe with all the cuts LA will become your bread and butter, maybe not maybe you will be able to retire or run your company from a laptop on a beach in Bermuda or maybe end up with egg on your face........who knows we all take chances and follow our ideas dreams and goals

All I will say is good luck mate you don't know untill you try
