Customer Service Assistant

In busy industrial environments, productivity is everything. So when it dips, or <a href="https://www.gap-personnel.com/employers-news/battling-attrition-how-to-keep-your-workforce-engaged-during-peak/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">turnover</a> creeps up, it&rsquo;s hard to miss. And the question on everyone&rsquo;s mind is usually the same: what&rsquo;s actually causing it?
We see it all too often, recruitment agencies or businesses focus on filling shifts quickly rather than matching people to the reality of the role. When that happens, the impact is felt on the shop floor, where small delays stack up and momentum is ultimately lost. Yikes.
<h2 class="MsoNormal">The trouble with "that'll do" staffing (spoiler: it rarely&nbsp;does)</h2>
Industrial roles aren&rsquo;t necessarily interchangeable, even if they look similar on paper. Pace, physical demands, working conditions, and repetition &ndash; they all play a part, and not everyone responds to those pressures in the same way.
Choosing whoever is available, instead of who is right, rarely goes well onsite. The result? High turnover and low productivity &ndash; we&rsquo;ll lay off on the &ldquo;I told you so&rdquo; moments whilst you try not facepalm too hard.
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Where speed thrills, but understanding kills... turnover</h2>
This is where a recruitment agency that truly understands your needs makes all the difference. By taking the time to learn how an operation works, what each role demands, and who is most likely to succeed, the right candidates are placed faster, perform better, and stick around longer.
Knowing your operation and the role like the back of their hand means your recruitment partner can put the right person in the right place &ndash; and that person hits the ground running from day one. Fewer leavers, faster output. In short, a win-win all round.
<h2 class="MsoNormal">What gap personnel does differently</h2>
At gap personnel, recruitment starts with listening. As a specialist industrial recruitment agency focused on industrial recruitment, we invest time in understanding tempo, pressures, and culture before putting candidates forward.
Once we know what makes your operation tick, robust candidate screening ensures suitability always comes first &ndash; but we do it at scale. This means we can supply skilled temporary staff in the numbers you need, without ever resorting to a &ldquo;bums on seats&rdquo; approach.
But we can only do so much on our own. The best candidates want more than a job &ndash; they want a quality placement with a quality employer. That&rsquo;s why we work with you to make sure people want to work for you, whether it&rsquo;s highlighting perks, showcasing growth opportunities, or simply telling your story. The goal? Making your business a place people are excited to join.
<h2 class="MsoNormal">A workforce that works, for results that count</h2>
When the right recruitment partner is doing the right things, the results aren&rsquo;t necessarily dramatic. But they are noticeable. People settle in quicker. Teams don&rsquo;t feel like they&rsquo;re constantly starting over. Managers stop spinning plates and can get back to running the operation.
By delivering both volume and quality, tailored recruitment isn&rsquo;t just a process. It keeps your operation running smoothly and your teams performing at their best. That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;re trusted across the UK to provide industrial staffing that genuinely works.
<h2 class="MsoNormal">It just... works (and that's no accident)</h2>
Recruitment shouldn&rsquo;t feel like a compromise. A recruitment agency that invests time to understand your culture and expectations delivers something far more valuable than a quick fix &ndash; it creates a stable, skilled, and scalable workforce that keeps your operation running smoothly and your teams performing at their best. And we think that just works far better than any quick fix or rushed hire.
Are you ready for a partnership that just works? <a href="https://www.gap-personnel.com/employers-get-in-touch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Get in touch with our team today.</a>

Quality hires beat quick fixes every time

Employment Rights Act – Royal Assent Update

There&rsquo;s a moment in every busy operation &ndash; usually somewhere between the second peak of the week and the next curveball &ndash; when the chaos begins to creep in. The kind of creeping where supervisors start wearing that glazed-over look and workers are rapidly trying to figure out who to ask, where to go, and why everything is running on more guesswork than planning.
And sure, any agency can send bodies to fill gaps in the workforce. But not every agency can stand with them while they do. That takes <a href="https://www.gap-personnel.com/solutions/supply-solutions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">onsite recruitment support</a> &ndash; occasionally seen as a &lsquo;nice-to-have&rsquo;, but more often that not, absolutely essential.
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Because &lsquo;checking in&rsquo; isn&rsquo;t the same as being present</h2>
Industrial sector businesses don&rsquo;t need distance with their staffing partner, especially when volumes are high. When an agency manages things from miles away, cracks start to show: think unfilled shifts, inconsistent training, clunky <a href="https://www.gap-personnel.com/employers-news/good-communication-and-strong-supplier-relationships-the-baseline-not-a-bonus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">communication</a>, and temps wandering around unsure of who&rsquo;s actually running the show. The account management team ends up spinning too many plates, operational flow stutters, and the whole environment feels more reactive than proactive.
It&rsquo;s not that your supplier isn&rsquo;t trying &ndash; it&rsquo;s that remote support simply can&rsquo;t keep pace with a high-volume, high-pressure environment. Without someone in the thick of it, the workforce feels disconnected, you feel under-supported, and the operation feels like it&rsquo;s permanently on the back foot.
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Out of sight, out of mind? Not on our watch </h2>
This is where gap personnel take a very different route. We don&rsquo;t just drop by once in a blue moon &ndash; we&rsquo;re practically permanent residents (in fact, some of our onsite teams could definitely claim squatter&rsquo;s rights). Instead of waving from afar, we put real people where they can make real impact. Temps know exactly who to turn to, account managers stop drowning in admin, and the whole workforce settles faster, which means they&rsquo;re more productive for your site.
Because we&rsquo;re genuinely embedded in your business, we can deliver comprehensive induction and training onsite, giving every new starter the structure and confidence they need from day one. And with us on the shop floor, it&rsquo;s easy to keep you updated on legislation and industry updates as they happen &ndash; no delay, no disconnect.
But the real win? Seamless integration. We pick up the rhythm of your operation, join your planning conversations, and keep proactive communication flowing long before problems have room to spiral. Over time, we operate as a genuine extension of your business, building the kind of honest and transparent relationship that high-volume operations rely on.
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Support that delivers where it matters most</h2>
When recruitment support steps inside the building &ndash; like, literally inside &ndash; everything changes. The workforce stabilises. The communication improves. The training levels out. Account managers get time back. Temps feel looked after. And the general atmosphere shifts from &lsquo;survival mode&rsquo; to &lsquo;nailed it&rsquo;.
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">It doesn&rsquo;t happen by chance. It happens because onsite support brings consistency, clarity, and care to an environment that moves quickly and demands even quicker decisions. And when your recruitment partner is as committed, connected, and present as the rest of your operation? Well, that&rsquo;s when #ItJustWorks.
&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;re managing ongoing or seasonal high-volume hiring and want a recruitment partner who understands your operation from the inside out, <a href="https://www.gap-personnel.com/employers-get-in-touch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speak to our on-site recruitment specialists today.</a>
