The flexibility of working as a temp suits me fine. Stafffinders are great if I have any concerns about the assignment, they will work to sort out any issues. An excellent employer.

I've had overall a positive experience with stafffinders and I've found Craig Kenny to be overall very helpful. Anytime you're looking for extra shifts Craig will always get back to you and is very helpful. Recently I've been having issues with being paid which does eventually get resolved but when this happens it is not clear who I should contact. Recently I changed shifts and it is not clear what the rate of pay is and it seems no one is willing to help.

I worked for Stafffinders in Paisley for 14 months prior to Covid-19. I mainly dealt with Chloe Callery. Chloe was always very professional & helpful. Chloe would always stay in contact with me to make sure everything was going well. I would not hesitate to work with Stafffinders again in the future. I am actually very keen to work with them again. I have been impressed how Chloe has kept in contact with me since my placement finished (Due to covid) Great employer - Great agency - Great people

I applied for a job through Staffinders and was phoned almost immediately after applying to sign up with them. I met with Chloe Callery for an informal chat to see what I was looking for and she couldn't have been nicer. I got two interviews within a few months and managed to get the second job I went for. Chloe was so helpful and kept in touch about what jobs were available and phoned me before to wish me luck and after my interviews to see how I got on, which put me at ease. I would highly recommend using Staffinders.
