Frequently Asked Questions for Temps

How do I register?

In order to register with us for Permanent or Temporary work we would be pleased to hear from you as a first stage by telephone on 020 7734 3374. You will be put through to one of our consultants who will have a discussion with you about your requirements.

If calling during work hours is difficult for you (or if you would prefer to send your CV first) you are more than welcome to e-mail us a copy of your CV with a covering letter to cv@coventgardenbureau.co.uk indicating whether you are interested in Permanent or Temporary work. When we have received your CV it will be forwarded to a Consultant on the Permanent or Temporary Team who will contact you.

We reply to all CVs sent to us at Covent Garden Bureau.

Once I have registered, how often should I stay in touch?

We recommend that you stay in touch on a regular basis. The end of the week tends to be the busiest time, so Thursdays and Fridays are good days to check in.

What happens if my consultant is not available?

We work very much as a team so feel free to speak to any of the consultants within the Temporary Division.

Can I temp whilst looking for Permanent roles?

Certainly. Lots of candidates temp whilst looking for the right Permanent role. It is also a really good way to see which environments you like. If you are new to London it is a good way to get a feel for the place.

When possible we will always introduce you to a Permanent consultant if you require.

Do I have the relevant experience?

Don’t be scared to pick up the phone and give us a call, we would be happy to speak to you.

What do I do if my Temp job becomes Permanent?

If you accept an offer to stay on in a Permanent capacity with the Client where you are currently a Temporary, please let us know. We will be delighted that you have found the right permanent job, as a result of our introduction.
