ABOUT RAINBOW RECRUITMENT (UK) LIMITED

Rainbow Recruitment (UK) Limited is a privately owned employment agency. The first office was opened in Llanfyllin on June 1st 1987 by Hilary Collins to provide a full range of recruitment services to companies and individuals in Wales and Shropshire. In October 1998, we moved to larger offices in Welshpool. Due to the expansion of Rainbow Recruitment (UK) Limited we opened offices in Oswestry on the 8th November 2004 and Newtown on the 24th June 2005.

We endeavour always to supply LOCAL people, recruited through our network of 'Situations Vacant' cabinets, on-going newspaper advertising and our regularly up-dated website.

We pride ourselves on finding the right person for the right job, thereby eliminating our clients' worry, time, expense and effort. We see to it that vacancies are filled by the most suitable candidates, in the fastest and most cost-effective way. Rainbow Recruitment (UK) Limited has a comprehensive register of staff in all job categories and can supply engineers, accountants, catering and production staff, computer operators and gardeners. Whether you need a labourer or an experienced secretary, we can satisfy your need. We cater for both temporary and permanent assignments and for full or part time positions.

A member of our staff will be pleased to visit you if you prefer to discuss your requirements in person - in total confidence and without obligation. Alternatively, just pick up the telephone and ring us before you spend any time and expense on advertising. We can save you the effort and find you the right person efficiently and without delay.

TEMPORARY STAFF

It can often prove costly and difficult to maintain staffing levels which match the current workload of a business. One easy, cost effective solution is to employ a temporary member of staff. At this point, Rainbow Recruitment (UK) Limited can arrange for the skilled help you need to be supplied on a temporary basis. It may be that you only want help for a day or two, to cover for someone who is off sick, or longer term to cover for maternity leave. Whatever your needs, we can take the time, energy and costly advertising out of recruitment. Qualified and experienced managerial and supervisory staff can be supplied for long and short term interim management contracts.

Temporary rates are available on request and vary according to the nature and length of the assignment. All temporary rates quoted are subject to V.A.T. The minimum booking period is four hours. All members of the temporary workforce are thoroughly screened and, where appropriate, their secretarial skills tested for speed and accuracy, before they are assigned to any job. At the same time, two references are taken up by Rainbow Recruitment (UK) Limited for all employees.

RAINBOW GUARANTEES that if you're not satisfied for any reason, we'll send a replacement, in accordance with our terms of business. Temporary staff of all categories can be supplied for short or long term assignments, from a few hours to several months. If you book a "temp" you have no PAYE, N.I. sick pay or holiday pay obligations, as these are fulfilled by Rainbow Recruitment (UK) Limited. Having agreed the hourly rate to be paid, on satisfactory completion of the job, an invoice will be issued based on a signed time sheet of the actual hours worked. It's as simple as that.

PERMANENT STAFF

Rainbow performs the complete recruitment function, and there are considerable savings to be made in money, time and energy by placing the position with Rainbow before considering any other expense.

RAINBOW GUARANTEES that all staff offered for permanent employment have been thoroughly screened, detailed CVs are prepared for each applicant and two references are obtained. Subsequently, a carefully selected shortlist of suitable candidates is compiled for the client. We have a comprehensive register of over 3000 people looking for work at any one time. If we don't find suitable candidates on the register, we will advertise the vacancy free of charge in order to achieve the best possible selection.

Rainbow's fee scale is highly competitive and is only payable on the satisfactory appointment of a selected candidate. If the employment is terminated by either side, for whatever reason, in the first thirteen weeks, RAINBOW GUARANTEES a proportional refund of the fee paid, in accordance with our terms of business.

TEMP TO PERM

A more successful and contemporary route to employing the most appropriate employee is to take them on a "temp-to-perm" basis. This is a highly recommended option, enabling the client to assess the capability and suitability of a potential employee before making an offer of permanent employment. This is an increasingly popular path to recruiting the best person for the job.
