We recently spoke with some of our temp candidates about their experiences working with peoplefusion and our clients. Their insights highlight what it’s really like to partner with us, both from the perspective of candidates stepping into temporary or contract roles and the organisations relying on us for talent. These conversations offer a clear picture of how temp and contract solutions can deliver value, flexibility, and impact.
These videos are available to view on our website here.
We’ve captured the key messages below, highlighting what candidates value most about their temp and contract experiences with peoplefusion.
Personalised, Human-Centred Support
One of the things that stood out across every conversation we had was how supported our temps have felt from day one. Many shared how seamless and welcoming the onboarding experience was, how our team genuinely took the time to understand their circumstances, preferences, and goals.
For one candidate with a vision impairment, this meant adapting the application and onboarding process to suit their accessibility needs. Instead of being met with barriers, they were met with solutions, receiving support to submit timesheets over the phone, flexibility around interview scheduling, and ongoing open communication to make sure they had everything they needed to thrive.
“They’ve really done everything they can do and made all the adjustments that I need. Very accommodating and very person-centred.”
Their Experience as a Client
Many of our temps have since turned to as clients themselves, trusting us to find the right people for their teams. Having experienced our care firsthand, they know we deliver candidates who not only have the right skills but also fit their culture.
“It was fantastic to be connected with great candidates, and now, when I need people for my own team, I know I can trust peoplefusion to do the same for me.”
Flexibility and Momentum
Several temps highlighted how working through peoplefusion helped them maintain momentum in their careers, quick placements, part-time opportunities to fit around life commitments, and the ability to come and go as needed.
This flexibility gave them the chance to gain meaningful experience without sacrificing balance, and to step confidently into each new assignment knowing our team was right behind them.
“I was able to engage in a role within two days, which is a record for me… it enabled me to keep up my momentum.”
Safe, Professional Workplaces
Our temps consistently told us they value how carefully we select host employers. They spoke of feeling safe, respected, and well-supported in each environment.
They also appreciated that our consultants visit worksites, check in regularly, and ensure everything aligns with our high standards, not just ticking boxes, but truly caring about their wellbeing.
“I know that I’m confident going into a space where I’ll be safe at work… they don’ t just see you as a candidate, but as a person, and it really makes a big difference.”
Why This Matters for Employers Too
These stories highlight something important for our host employers as well: when you choose peoplefusion to find your candidates, you’re not just filling a position, you’re partnering with a team that takes pride in candidate care.
We connect you with skilled, motivated people and support them every step of the way, so they can give their best to your business. Our approach ensures that the people we place aren’t just the right fit on paper, they’re empowered, supported, and ready to contribute from day one.
A True Partnership
For peoplefusion, recruitment has always been about more than just placements. It’s about people. And these stories show the difference that can make, for candidates and for employers alike.
We’re extremely grateful to our temps and contractors for sharing their experiences, and to our host employers for welcoming them into their teams.
