contracting with us

How do you become a Randstad Financial & Professional contractor?
  • Apply by sending your CV either via the website or by email. If we can help, you'll be invited to attend an interview with an experienced consultant whose primary aim is to find you the job that you want. Rates of pay will be discussed and a course of action agreed. You will be required to provide us with reference information and right to work in the UK documentation. Please note all financial services clients require 5 years of references. Office support candidates will be tested on typing speeds and MS office packages.
  • When a position arises a consultant will call to brief you. It's important that you take down full details of the role including any specific job numbers quoted for the position. If you're interested your CV will be sent to the client.

Your Pay
  • If you're temping through us you'll be paid weekly in arrears.
  • For PAYE Candidates, the Holiday Pay portion of your rate can be accrued and held back, or rolled up and paid out each week, dependant on the Client you are working for.
  • Authorised hours must be submitted by the deadline given, dependant on the Client you are working for.
  • Authorised hours can be submitted by either the Client's own Timesheet system, our own Online Timesheet Portal, or sent into us on a Manual timesheet (available to download) - again, this is dependant on the Client you are working for.
  • Once you are registered with us, you will be able to access our Online Timesheet Portal, or download timesheets via your My RF&P online account.

  • Access to a choice of vacancies with leading organisations
  • CV advice to ensure that your CV sells your key skills

  • Competitive rates of pay and an efficient pay roll process
  • Regular update phone calls from your consultant whilst you're on assignment

Staying in Continuous Work
  • Remember, as a temp your performance will be evaluated and this will determine future assignments that you are offered. Don't make personal international calls unless approved by your company/Manager and don't abuse your email/internet privileges.
  • Keep in contact. If you're in an assignment and you discover it's about to finish, call us. Also do update your consultant if your contact information changes
  • Do always adhere to agreed notice periods. Should you need to terminate your assignment early please ensure you give us the maximum notice possible. If you've been working through another agency then send us your updated CV. We'll help you find your next contract.
