Understand the difference between permanent and temporary construction recruitment, and why many companies and tradespeople now prefer permanent roles.
What permanent recruitment means
A permanent role is a direct, ongoing position with one employer. The employer builds a long term relationship with the individual, and the individual gets stability and the chance to progress with the company.
Why employers choose permanent staff
Permanent staff learn your processes, protect your reputation with clients and reduce the cost and disruption of constantly onboarding new people. For businesses that want to grow steadily, a committed team is a major advantage.
Why tradespeople choose permanent roles
Permanent roles can offer more stability, a clear route to progress and a stronger sense of belonging. For many skilled people, finding the right employer is more important than the next short term contract.
Where temporary fits
Temporary labour can help with short term peaks in workload. But if you are hiring for a role that will exist for the long term, a permanent hire is often the better investment.
