Do you not think the recruitment/employment agency is a big industry? A large amount of organisations now employ perm/temp staff through agencies. They supply staff as and when, check references, tickets, cover them for insurance, do the majority of the paperwork (tax, NI, background checks). The industry should not be closed off to this more modern way of employment. Freelance/subbies are completey different to agency staff. The benefit of agency staff you can always let them go and the agency is not going to want to send you useless staff.

Give them a chance. Least their having a go. Another agency that I won't mention is not exactly liked by many people in the industry. Least with with a temp, you dont have to worry about anybody suing due to breach of contract etc. This kind of business makes the industry more professional. Dont shot the company down before they have given it a go.

Yell.com, there free, search friendly website
treesnakey replied to treesnakey's topic in Business Management
Yell has been ok to us. Though I have down graded the size of our paper advert and increased our google adwords budget. Advertising is a difficult one. I believe advertising works. We've been trading nearly two years and word of mouth is bringing more business with time. But we still have to spend on advertising. -

I think people that came from different work backgrounds usually appreciate our industry more than people that either fall into it or come straight from school/college.
