In our conversation on Career Chronicles about preparing for maternity leave, the challenge of and concern around passing off responsibilities came up (not surprisingly). We want to ensure things are taken care of while we are out, but we also worry about over-loading our teammates. Hiring temporary employees to fill in during parental leave can be a great solution. Luke Gendron shares other reasons why planning for your next temp hire is super important. I'd love to hear from others--have you used temporary hires in this way?

Planning for your next temp hire is super important! Here's how: Whether you are looking to cover a maternity leave, medical leave, to cover an influx in volume, or if you have a seasonal need, start planning early. ☝ Identify the right type of need, not all temp work is the same. Understand if this will be a short term fix or an interim solution for a long term need. ✌ Work through transition planning and documentation early. If this is filling in for someone that will be out for a period of time, work with the person that is going on leave to really understand their daily duties so someone can transition easily into the position. 👌 Plan what the transition back will look like. This is super important when the temp is filling in for someone out on leave, to allow for a smooth transition back in. This is also helpful if it's seasonal or adding heads for an influx in volume, how will the company transition back to the "normal level" of full-time employees after the rush. 🖖 Make sure the team is bought in and on board. No temp worker wants to go into a company and be treated like crap, include your team in your planning for bringing temporary help in. Make the temporary working feel like part of the team and you'll get a better temp employee. 🖐 Plan what agency/agencies you will be partnering with. Just like my previous statement "not all temp work is the same", not all recruiting agencies are the same. Do your homework to make sure the companies you are partnering with have supported needs like yours to make sure you have success. No one wants the stress of scrambling last minute, plan ahead! #theresabetterway #staffing #temporaryjobs #temporarystaffing #hiring

🌟 Noticing a Surge in Temp Cover Requests Lately! 🌟 Over the past few weeks, I’ve seen a rise in clients reaching out for temp cover. Whether it’s to cover a busy season, maternity leave, or simply to fill a gap during transitions, it's clear that more companies are recognising the value of temporary hires to keep things running smoothly! So why is hiring a temp such a smart move? 👇 💼 Immediate Impact: Temps can jump in quickly and hit the ground running, making sure your business doesn't skip a beat. ⏳ Flexibility: Not sure how long you'll need extra support? Temp contracts give you the flexibility to scale your workforce up or down as needed. 💰 Cost-Effective: You only pay for the time you need. It’s a great way to control costs while still getting the work done. 🎯 Specialised Skills: Sometimes you just need a pro with a very specific skill set. Temps bring expertise without long-term commitments. If you’re considering temp cover, now’s the perfect time to explore the benefits. Get in touch to discuss how I can help you find the right talent for your team! 👏 #tempcover #temprecruitment #freelancer  

Okkkk - So some SENIOR-level full-time roles are being advertised around £30k - £40k?! I understand the financial difficulties within many companies right now. Hell, I know first-hand because I was made redundant a couple of months ago. 👎 But if an employer cannot afford a senior team member, why seek them? We see y’all employers reposting the same position multiple times. I have genuinely seen the same roles reposted x3 times over recent months. Who u foolin'? It’s not working because the more professional expertise a person has, the more we value ourselves—financially, in terms of opportunities, flexibility, career growth, our time, etc. Plus, let’s be honest, we're pretty clued up on how those roles play out. On top of this, say an experienced employee is hired for £40k - how long will this last within the budget? I’ll tell you. Not longer than a few months. Again - first-hand. Mid-Senior Levels: Keep reminding yourself how valuable you are. And sexy. We’re all sexy humans. Own it. Employers: Lol, cut the sh*t. We see through it. 😉 #JobSeeking #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalValue #CreativeStrategy #Branding #JobSearch #SeniorRoles #Employment #CreativeLeadership #IndustryInsight #CareerDevelopment #JobMarket #Redundancy #EmployerTransparency #CareerAdvice #SalaryExpectations #WorkplaceRealities

👀 Ever feel like your boss thinks you're over the moon with your perks... but you're actually not? You're not alone! A startling 66% of employers think their teams are head over heels for the benefits offered, while only 21% of employees are feeling the love. 😅 Time for a change? tbc-recruit.com #recruiter #recruitmentagency #jobsearch #hirewithus #jobopportunities #hiring #recruitmentexperts #CCS #newjob #lookingforwork

How long does something have to last for you to spend money on it? Does your decision change if the item is: $100? $1,000? $10,000? $100,000? 51% of respondents believe there is a set amount of time you should stay in a job - apparently 49% don't - which is scary as hell. Of those 51%, 65% of them believe that the set amount of time is less than a year. Wow. You can't build a successful company with that kind of turnover. Be careful who you hire. #hiring #hiringandpromotion #humanresources #business #cxo https://lnkd.in/d4qZnNNx

Employers, take note: Take care of your employees, or someone else will. Recently, I worked with a candidate who had continuously been promised advancements by their employer, only to be left disappointed each time. Following a restructure, her responsibilities increased and workload had doubled, and with that came promises of a promotion, a pay raise, and the opportunity to hire a report. However, every discussion about these advancements resulted in delays and excuses. "We'll promote you to Head of Marketing," they said, but it never materialised. "We'll increase your pay," they promised, yet nothing changed. "Let's revisit this in our next meeting," they deferred, pushing back the timeline again and again. This cycle persisted for 12 months until she had had enough. I introduced her to a new opportunity, she interviewed, received an offer, and accepted it. When she handed in her notice, suddenly her current employer scrambled to offer her everything they had previously promised – a pay raise, a promotion, and the ability to build her own team. She declined their offer and moved on. In today's job market, it may seem like employers hold all the cards, but remember: Your employees have options. This story serves as a friendly reminder to prioritise your team's well-being and professional growth before they decide to walk away. Because if you don't, someone else will. #Employeeretention #counteroffer #talent #hiring #opentowork #newopportunities #retention #engagement #employeeengagement #jobsatisfaction

90 Days(3 Months) Notice Period - Does it make sense for an organisation? Case 1: A senior resource resigns, replacement hired in a month KT/handover done in next 15-20 Days. Now this resource is just a parked resource for next 45 days. Case 2: No replacement is hired and this resource stays in system(may add minimal value to the system) for next 90 days and leaves. In ideal scenario Notice Period should not be more than 30 Days ✌️ #hiring #jobchange
