Recruitment agency partners
Workwell Contractor Solutions provide a first-class service to all of our recruitment business clients, priding ourselves in offering a proactive added value, consultative approach, tailored to each recruitment agency.
At a time when determining employment status is more important than ever, you can be assured our contractors can only be assessed for a self-employment solution if the relevant recruitment agency approved person has communicated this as a suitable option. We then undertake our compliant contractor status assessment which enables both parties to determine the most suitable contracting option.
We operate an ‘open door’ policy so any recruitment agency partner can call in to meet our team and learn more about how our operation works. This demonstrates our transparency and our belief in the quality and professionalism of the service we offer – we encourage our agencies to do this.
If you are a recruitment business looking for a professional long-established and trustworthy partner or an individual new to contracting who would like to discuss your options, or indeed if you have been contracting for a while and feel you would benefit from our additional support, please get in touch with a member of our friendly expert team. We will be more than happy to help you.
