Why you should hire Christmas temps

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… And we have you covered! The Christmas period is a very busy time for lots of businesses, especially in the Commerce, Finance and Sales sectors! All of which, we recruit for! Carry on reading to find out exactly why you should hire a Christmas Temp…

Saves you time…

We will advertise your Christmas temp job on your behalf and source candidates for you! Not only this but as it is a temp role you can be upfront about the pay and hours and so negotiating shouldn’t be necessary.

New set of skills…

When you hire anyone, you gain a new set of skills and this is no different with a temporary hire. It’s great to get a fresh perspective, and temps can offer fantastic ideas and opinions. As they’re unlikely to be around after the festivities they will be more honest and open than full-time employees.

🎄 Cover during the Christmas rush…

Not every business will close over Christmas and it isn’t just retail that have to deal with the Christmas rush. As I said earlier, sectors such as; Commerce, Finance and Sales can all have a busy period over Christmas. Hiring temp staff helps with this problem, as you have extra staff, to deal with the workload, on a temporary basis. Then when things slow down in January the temp contract will finish.

🎅 They want to work…

People who get a temporary role over Christmas are choosing to do so. Permanent staff on the other hand may want time off over Christmas but can’t and so morale for these employee’s can be quite low. A Christmas temp however, has purposely found a temp role for over Christmas and agreed to the hours/days of work. Morale for temporary workers therefore will be higher, which can boost the whole work force.

These are just a few great reasons why you should consider hiring a Christmas temp this year. If you have a temporary role you’d like us to advertise then drop us an email – hello@gbsolutions.co.uk and we’ll get the bauble rolling 😀
