Temporary Placements and Metrics from My First 9 Months
I work at a temp agency in Ireland specializing in construction. In my first nine months, I’ve successfully placed 85 temporary workers and secured 2 permanent positions. Is this figure typical for someone in their initial nine months in temporary placements? I come from a background in permanent positions within the same industry.

It sounds like you’re off to a solid start, especially coming from a permanent placement background. While the number of temporary placements can vary significantly depending on factors like your network, the demand for construction workers, and the current job market, 85 placements in nine months seems reasonable. The transition from permanent to temporary placements can come with a learning curve, but it’s great that you’ve already secured two permanent placements as well.
To gauge whether your figures are low or high, consider comparing them to others in your agency or industry. Additionally, focus on building relationships with both clients and candidates, as that can help increase your placements over time. Keep sharpening your skills in temp recruitment, and don’t hesitate to seek feedback from your colleagues or supervisors. You’re on the right track!
