The Temporary Recruitment Experience With VWA

1. A Personal and Professional Approach

From your very first conversation with us, you'll notice the difference. At VWA, our Consultants take the time to get to know you – not just your CV, but your motivations, working preferences and long-term goals.

In fact, many of our temps comment on how refreshing it is to have our Consultants dedicate time to discuss their experience and reasons for temping in detail, making them feel genuinely heard and understood.

With years of experience and exceptional industry knowledge, our long-standing client relationships place us in a strong advisory position to match our temps with the most suitable and rewarding opportunities possible.

We have a close-knit team of four Consultants, some or all of which you will be in contact with throughout your time with us. They're there to provide support, guidance and honest feedback, whether you're on your first assignment or your hundredth.

We use various channels of communication, with WhatsApp being the primary method. This we find not only has quicker response rates but also enables us to build those trusting relationships with temps and work closely with them to manage their busy and ever-changing schedules!

2. Access to Exceptional Opportunities

Here at VWA, we are proud to work with a broad range of clients across industries including financial services, executive search, consultancy, property, technology, legal, private households, and the creative sectors.

Our temporary roles are equally diverse – most frequently from Executive and Team Assistants to Receptionists and Office Managers, to even HR Coordinators and Marketing Assistants on occasion.

We take pride in placing our temps in roles that are not only well-suited to their skill sets, but also offer opportunities for development and growth.

Often a short-term temp job can lead to a longer temp assignment, or in certain cases, even permanent, provided the business is seeking an addition to the team in this capacity and the long-term career goals of the candidate are aligned with the team and business needs!

3. Clear Communication and Support

We know how important it is to feel informed, especially when you're entering a new workplace.

That’s why at VWA, we provide as much detail and information as we can ahead of temp bookings and the team are on hand for questions, so you know how to prepare and what to expect. We’ll also check in with you during your placement to ensure everything is going smoothly.

The strong, long-standing relationships we’ve built with our temporary candidates over the years are a result of consistent and clear communication when it comes to feedback, availability, and opportunities.

From timesheets and payroll to holiday pay and contract extensions, we’ll ensure that everything is managed efficiently and transparently, so you can focus on doing your best work.

4. A Reputation Built on Trust

Many of our temporary candidates come to us through recommendation – a testament to the experience we aim to provide. We value our temporary workforce immensely and are committed to building long-term relationships based on trust, respect and professionalism.

We’re proud to say that many temps choose to work exclusively with VWA after their first experience with us – and we never take that trust for granted.

5. Flexibility, Variety, and Opportunity

Temporary work is increasingly becoming a career choice in its own right, offering freedom, variety and valuable exposure to different industries and working styles.

At VWA, we make it our mission to ensure that this flexibility is matched with security, opportunity and a positive candidate experience at every stage.
