Contract Staff & Temp Recruitment Agency

MJD Recruitment takes a thorough and efficient approach to the screening and onboarding of temporary staff to ensure clients receive dependable, high-quality support. All candidates undergo in-depth interviews where we assess their experience, technical skills, and workplace adaptability, supported by skills testing in areas such as Microsoft Office, typing speed, and industry-specific systems, along with reference checks to confirm performance and reliability. Once selected, temporary staff are set up in our timesheet system, with timesheet approvals sent to clients weekly to ensure accuracy of invoicing and transparency in hours worked. We also manage all aspects of onboarding, including payroll setup, compliance documentation, and detailed assignment briefings, so each candidate is fully prepared before starting. Our consultants maintain regular check-ins throughout the placement, ensuring both clients and temporary employees receive ongoing support and a seamless experience from start to finish.

Yes — absolutely. MJD Recruitment offers temp-to-hire (also known as temp-to-perm) options for clients seeking flexibility and long-term alignment in their hiring process. This approach allows businesses to engage a candidate on a temporary basis initially, providing the opportunity to assess their performance, cultural fit, and suitability for the role before offering a permanent position. It’s a great solution for organisations wanting to maintain momentum while ensuring the right long-term hire. For candidates, it provides the chance to experience the role and workplace firsthand before committing permanently — creating a smooth, low-risk transition for both parties.
