We supply temporary staff at short notice across London and the Home Counties. Our candidates are known to us, loyal to us, and available at pace. When you need cover quickly, you do not want an agency that starts searching from scratch. We do not.

Sectors covered for temporary roles
Fully compliant supply
The value of a temporary staffing service is measured by how quickly it can respond and how reliable the candidates it sends are. Over 35 years we have built a database of temporary candidates across our core sectors, many of whom have worked with us repeatedly and return to us when they are available. That loyalty is the difference between an agency that can fill a role by the end of the day and one that starts making calls when your email comes in.
We supply temporary staff for absence cover, peak workload periods, project-based requirements, and situations where a business needs resource immediately while a permanent hire is in progress. The length of an assignment can be a single day or several months. The approach is the same either way.
Short notice is standard practice for us.
Our temporary candidates are regularly available at 24 hours notice or less because we stay in contact with them between assignments. We know who is free, who is nearly free, and who could be available if the right role came up.
A member of staff is off sick, on emergency leave, or has resigned with immediate effect. You need someone in tomorrow. We can usually help.
You have a permanent vacancy in progress but cannot leave the role empty for six weeks. A temporary placement bridges the gap while the search continues.
Year-end, a specific project, or a period of growth creates resource requirements that do not justify a permanent hire. Temporary staff provide the capacity without the long-term commitment.
Planned cover for extended absence requires someone who can integrate properly and sustain the role for the duration. We match accordingly, not just for availability.
Some clients use a temporary placement as an extended assessment before committing to a permanent offer. We are transparent with candidates when this is the approach.
An acquisition, a system change, or a team restructure creates temporary gaps. We can supply staff with the specific experience to manage the transition period.
Temporary staffing agencies are only as good as the candidates they can call on. Ours come back to us. Many of our temporary candidates have worked through Fame Recruitment across multiple assignments over several years. They do that because we look after them properly: we stay in contact between placements, we are straightforward about what is available and what is not, and we pay on time, every time.
The result is a candidate database built on genuine relationships rather than speculative registrations. When a client calls with an urgent requirement, we are calling candidates who already know us, who have been placed by us before, and who trust that the role we are describing is what we say it is. That shortens the time between your call and a candidate arriving at your office considerably.
Every candidate on our temporary books has been interviewed by us. We know their working style, their strengths, the environments they perform in, and the ones they do not. When we place someone on a temporary basis we are not guessing. We know who we are sending and why.

If you are looking for temporary work, we want to hear from you. Whether you need something immediately, want to build up experience across different environments, or are between permanent roles and need income while you search, temporary work through Fame Recruitment is a practical option.
We will meet you, understand what you are looking for, and be honest about what we have available. When an assignment comes up that suits you, we will contact you before we commit your availability to a client. You will know what the role is, how long it is expected to run, what it pays, and who the client is before you agree to anything.
Candidates who work with us on a temporary basis frequently come back to us when their assignment ends, and many are placed into permanent roles through us over time. We take those relationships seriously and maintain them properly.
What we need from you
Tell us what you need, when you need it, and for how long. The more detail you give us the faster we can move. A phone call is quicker than an email for urgent requests.
We go to our database of available candidates first. These are people we know, have placed before, and are in regular contact with. This is why we can respond quickly.
We put forward one or two candidates who match the brief. We tell you what they have done, where they have worked, and why we think they are right for your environment. You confirm and they start.
The candidate works at your site. Weekly timesheets are signed off by the client and used as the basis for invoicing. We invoice weekly and payment terms are 14 days.
We check in during the assignment to make sure things are working on both sides. If there is a problem, we want to hear about it quickly so we can address it.
If you want to extend the assignment or convert the temporary candidate to a permanent role, speak to us. Transfer terms are set out in our Terms of Business and we handle the conversation on both sides.
Whether you are looking to hire or looking for your next permanent role, talk to us.
“We called Fame at 8am on a Monday needing a finance temp by the afternoon. They had someone with us by 1pm. The candidate knew what she was doing and stayed for three months. That is the kind of service you cannot get from an agency that does not know its people.”
“I have worked with Fame on a temporary basis for years. They are honest about what is available, they always call when they say they will, and they have never let me down on pay. I would not register anywhere else.”
