Temps and Contractors
A temporary role becomes available when one of our clients contacts us with a short-term position. These roles are generated as a result of planned or unplanned absences within the organisation.
Celtic Careers then source and recruit the most suitably qualified individual to fill the vacancy within the organisation on a temporary basis. The temp worker is usually a person who is flexible, capable and competent in the work area required.
At this point the temporary worker becomes an important employee of Celtic Careers – however you work at the clients’ location. Celtic Careers pays you an agreed rate for the contract undertaken. We pride ourselves on ensuring that we pay on time every time. We are your support structure, facilitating a flexible working arrangement.
Why Temp?
Temporary work provides excellent opportunities to improve your current skills and knowledge base and creates new challenges. It is often viewed as a viable career choice, which can inevitably improve your chances in gaining full time employment. Temporary work can also be a strategic career move when attempting to break into a particular area of interest. Celtic Careers excels at selecting the right temporary worker for particular positions consequently many of our contract workers have successfully accepted full time employment subsequent to their temporary contract.
We place temporary workers in various roles, from office based positions to technical, catering, operative – in fact we cover a vast range of roles, so if you fancy temping for a while, give us a call – we are the best temp agency in Dublin – that’s what our candidates say!
Rona Mahon - Temporary Employee
"Having been made redundant after 12 years in the same company, I was pretty raw and vulnerable. I rang Celtic Careers, and they immediately instilled confidence in me by their professional manner – I was interviewed by phone within 48 hours of sending them my CV, and then had a face to face interview shortly afterwards.
The companies, with which Celtic Careers deal, can be huge multinational companies to smaller organisations. What struck me many times, while working in the various temp positions, are the relationships which Celtic Careers have nurtured with their clients. This is a great advantage when turning up the first day of a temp position, as the client has the pre-conception of the arrival of a professional as that is what they have come to expect from Celtic Careers.
For my first few temp assignments, I would get a call from Celtic Careers to ensure that I had arrived o.k. and that I was happy with my assignment. After ‘proving myself’ I didn’t get such calls, but if the assignment was a long one I would get a call after a week, just to see how things were going. This is vital for anyone who is beginning in a new position as you are already a little nervous and apprehensive, but receiving that call puts you at ease.
The payroll department does everything in their power to have the money in your bank account every Wednesday (for the previous week, ending Friday). I have worked for a couple of other agencies and their payment dates are much later in the week. I have often been called to remind me to send my timesheet, which certainly wouldn’t happen anywhere else. This is because Celtic Careers treats you as one of their own."
