Best agency for part-time / temp jobs

    I am taking some time out at the moment and am thinking of changing careers.

    I am looking for part-time or temporary office work to tide me over in the short term.

    I have very little experience of recruitment agencies, and this is the first time I have been looking for casual work rather than something long term.

    So I was wondering if anyone could recommend the recruitment agencies they have had reasonably good experiences with when seeking this type of work? Maybe I should be asking if there are any decent agencies instead! :)

    Thanks in advance. :)

    I currently work for La Creme here in Cork, but they also have offices in Dublin. My experience of them as a temperorary employer has been overall quite positive. Just remember to keep calling/emailing the girls on the temp desk and remind them that you're looking for work.

    The tests are just typing and Office tests. Straighforward.

    Hey Prufrock,

    I did temping for about a year a while back and was with 2 agencies in Dublin. La Creme, Pembroke Street, Mary B Cremin, Fitzwilliam Place.

    Those 2 agencies always had work for me. I was never out of work with them.

    Some days I would finish up a job at lunch time and after lunch be starting in a new assignment in another company. It was great experience. I gained lots of insight into lots of different types of companies and industries.

    The other smaller agencies are no good, I joined them too and they would ring me like a month later for a day here or a day there, and of course I'd already be working with one of the 2 agencies above.

    Well best of luck with the typing tests and all that.
