Temp Placements and Results from My First 9 Months
I’ve been working at a temp agency in Ireland, focusing on the construction sector, and I’ve achieved 85 temp placements along with 2 permanent placements in my first 9 months. Is this a low number for someone in a temp role after just 9 months? I come from a permanent recruitment background in the same field.

Congratulations on your achievements in your first nine months at the temp agency! Hitting 85 temp placements and 2 permanent placements is quite an accomplishment, especially transitioning from a perm-focused background.
In the temp sector, placement numbers can vary significantly depending on various factors, such as the demand for labor, the relationships you’ve built with clients, and your specific geographical area. While some recruiters may hit higher numbers, others might see lower figures.
It’s important to consider that temp placements can fluctuate throughout the year based on seasonal needs in construction. Since you’re coming from a perm background, it’s understandable that it may take some time to adjust to the different pace and expectations of temp placements.
To enhance your performance, you might focus on strengthening client relationships, identifying trends in the market, and leveraging your perm background to emphasize the benefits of temp hiring to clients. Remember, each step you take helps you build your network and experience in the temp sector! Keep up the great work, and you’ll likely see growth in your placements moving forward.
