Pertemps in short
Pertemps runs more than two hundred branches placing temporary and permanent staff, with a Telford office at Hazeldine House in Overdale. Its site covers driving, education, health, finance and other sectors with a job search by title and town, and the business traces itself back over half a century. A live limited company sits behind the name.
Customers rate Pertemps well: almost five stars on Google from dozens of reviews. There is no other review source on record, so this review reads the headline figures as warm but narrow. For a branch office, the rating sits comfortably in the upper half of the table.
What counts against it is the usual missing paperwork: the site states no scheme memberships, publishes no insurance details and shows no client pricing. Our judgement is that Pertemps suits employers who want a Telford branch backed by a national network placing large temp volumes.
The scale behind the Telford office is the largest here: hundreds of branches across driving, education, health, finance and other sectors, with a job search by title and town and a business history reaching back decades. The branch-level customer base is warm but narrow. This review reads national throughput as the reason to shortlist and the unpublished insurance and pricing as the gaps in the file. Our view is that the file reads like scale first, local detail second.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Pertemps suits you if you want a Telford branch backed by a national network placing large temp volumes [1]. The company has been active since 2003 [3]. What counts against it is the absence of published insurance details and client pricing [1].
