Frequently Asked Questions
For this particular project, we require a minimum of 6 months of proven experience on commercial construction sites. A valid CSCS card is non-negotiable for site access.

If you have experience in related fields like handyman jobs or warehouse environments, we still encourage you to apply, as core skills like reliability and safety awareness are transferable.
We operate an"immediate start" model. If your documentation (right-to-work, CSCS card, references) is in order, we can often conduct a quick telephone interview and have you booked for a site induction within 24-48 hours. The client in Manchester M17 is looking to onboard reliable workers immediately to meet project deadlines.
Absolutely. Recruitment Agency London is a multi-sector specialist. Once registered, you'll have access to our entire job board. We frequently recruit for warehouse jobs, Event Catering Staff for major venues, Admin Assistant roles in corporate offices, and of course, Forklift Driver positions across the logistics sector. Registering with us opens doors across industries.
A temporary role is for a fixed period or project. Temp-to-perm means you start on a temporary contract through our agency, with a clear understanding that if you perform well and fit into the team, the end client will offer you a permanent contract directly with them after a qualifying period (typically 12-16 weeks). This role offers strong temp-to-perm potential for the right candidate.
