Questions

How do you choose a temporary work agency?

Short answer

Choose a temporary work agency on what you can check: a valid licence, written contracts with the workers, insurance and paperwork handled by the agency, experience in your sector and a written proposal setting out what is included. A serious agency answers these questions clearly before anything starts.

What to check before you decide

  • A valid agency licence, which you can check in IEFP's public register
  • Written temporary work contracts, signed by the agency with each worker
  • Workplace accident insurance and occupational health covered by the agency
  • Experience in your sector and with the profiles you need
  • A written proposal setting out what the price includes

Questions to ask before you sign

  • What is your licence number?
  • Who is the workers' employer?
  • Which insurance and paperwork do you handle?
  • What does the price in the proposal include?
  • How do you follow up the team during the project?

Warning signs

  • A licence that does not appear in IEFP's public register
  • Workers without a written contract
  • Costs that only appear once work has started
  • Candidates being asked to pay to get a job
