Contract, Interim and Temporary Recruitment

Contract recruitment engages professionals on a fixed-term or project basis, giving you specialist skills or short-term cover without the commitment of a permanent hire. It is often the default model for critical infrastructure organisations delivering major nuclear new build, rail construction and water infrastructure programmes.

Both sit under the broader umbrella of interim and contingent workforce solutions, and the right choice depends on the work. Contract roles are typically project-based with defined deliverables and a fixed duration, while temporary roles more often cover shorter-term needs such as sickness, absence or seasonal demand.

Yes, compliance sits at the centre of what we do. From IR35 status determinations through to identity verification and contractor onboarding, we cover the details, including managing umbrella company compliance with SafeRec. We also coordinate the sector-specific screening critical infrastructure demands, so the right people join your business with clearances already in place.

Whether you need a single interim specialist or a full project team, we scale our temporary recruitment services to match demand. For higher-volume or longer-term needs, our contingent workforce management and Statement of Work services may also be worth exploring.

It depends on the role and sector, but we move quickly. We maintain established networks across core critical infrastructure expertise, many of whom we know well and have placed before, so we can often reduce time-to-hire compared with starting a search from scratch.

We take our duty of care seriously. That means clear contracts, prompt and accurate payments, and ongoing communication throughout an assignment. Workers also have access to wellbeing support through Able Futures, in line with our Safe Rec commitment to health, safety and sustainability.
