Our team of recruitment partners work with every industry to match people and clients for short-term employment, be that contract of temporary.

Contract and temporary employment appeals to candidates who would like short-term job security but are seeking some degree of choice over their longer-term schedule. People can take on work as and when it suits, allowing them to arrange breaks, holiday or travel around these interim commitments. Temporary assignments also offer people the chance to develop their skills across a range of areas and industries.

Contracts and temporary employment are increasingly popular for both employers and employees. A shorter-term commitment can be a great way to assess if it’s the right opportunity for both parties. This can be an attractive option for organisations who are looking to cover longer term staff absence, need additional support with a project or campaign or to expand their business with a low-risk way. These roles are frequently used to offset increased workloads and are popular with people who are looking for flexibility.

Whatever the short-term need, we are confident we can match the right candidate to the right role.

​Rowlands were so helpful throughout this process. I was just looking for a temporary role initially but I was offered a permanent position at the end of my assignment! Thank you Rowlands I have been here for 2 years now and I love it.
