5 ways to manage temporary workers across multiple clients

As a recruiter, managing temporary workers across multiple different clients can be challenging with scheduling conflicts, differing expectations and disorganisation. But not to worry, you can overcome these challenges with the right approach and tools, ensuring you provide all of your clients with the temp talent they need. The team from JobAdder explains.

1. Create a centralised database of temp talent

A centralised database or talent pool stores all the information you need about each worker's skillset, availability and work preferences.

This will allow you to quickly identify the right candidates for each client, streamline the hiring process and minimise the risk of miscommunication.

2. Use a project management system

Utilise a project management system or software (wink wink like an ATS) to assign tasks, track progress and communicate with your temporary workers.

This will help ensure that all parties are on the same page, deadlines are met and that your workers have the resources they need to perform their jobs effectively.

3. Set clear expectations between clients and temp workers

Clearly define the job requirements, expectations and timelines for each client, and ensure that workers understand their responsibilities.

Handy tip: Set a reminder in your ATS so you know when a temp placement is coming to an end. That way, you can ask the client if they’d like to renew or see if you have other roles that could be a good fit for that temp worker.

4. Offer support and resources for worker success

Provide access to training materials, onboarding documentation and other tools that will help your temps acclimate to their new work environment quickly.

When possible, assign a mentor or point of contact for each worker to ensure they have someone they can turn to with questions.

5. Monitor performance and provide feedback

It's essential to monitor the performance of your temporary workers to ensure they’re meeting all expectations.

Regularly review their progress and address any issues promptly. This maintains a high level of client satisfaction and nurtures the professional growth of your temporary workers.
