Temp Placements and My First 9 Months
I’ve been working at a temp agency in Ireland, focusing on the construction industry, and I’ve achieved 85 temporary placements along with 2 permanent placements in my first 9 months. Is this number typical for someone in their initial 9 months in temps? I come from a permanent placement background in the same field.

Congratulations on your first 9 months at the temp agency! In the construction industry, the number of temp placements can vary significantly based on several factors such as market demand, the size of your client base, and your geographical area.
While 85 temp placements may seem low if you’re coming from a perm background, it’s essential to consider that temp placements can often require different strategies and approaches, especially in the construction sector, where projects can fluctuate.
To better gauge your performance, it might be helpful to compare your numbers with industry averages or discuss them with colleagues or mentors in your agency. Additionally, focusing on building relationships with clients and understanding their needs can help increase your placements in the future. Keep pushing forward, and best of luck in your continuing journey!
