We know going back to the office can feel quite daunting, especially after a long period of time, but did you know that temping is a brilliant way to gain some extra experience and add to your C.V  which will no doubt boost your confidence? 

Why Temp? 

Many Osborne temps decide to try temping because they’ve been out of the workplace for some time.  We find that the majority of temps had taken time out for family or childcare reasons, while others took time to travel or for an extended career break. They subsequently found that temping was a great way to reintroduce themselves back into the workplace. 

Others simply love the flexibility and variety of short and long term contracts while still having the security and support of the Osborne Recruitment Team in the background. 

If this is you and you’re interested in becoming a temp but are not sure where to start, read our FAQ section below which answers some of the most commonly asked questions about temping. 

FAQ

It’s a great way to add to your C.V and build on your experience, ultimately making you more attractive to potential future employers.

• How and when will I get paid?

Osborne Temps are paid weekly on a Friday directly into their personal bank account, another benefit of temping – not having to wait until the end of the month for payment.

• Will I receive training?
