Perhaps Pertemps can help you find employees or a horse race -- or both. An independent recruitment agency, Pertemps has more than 80 branches across cities in the UK that provide workers in industrial and commercial, skilled and unskilled positions in fields such as education, finance, information technology, and nursing. It is one of the UK's leading staffing firms, serving about a third of the FTSE 100 companies. Pertemps, which has raised its profile by sponsoring horse races and other sporting events, has more than 30,000 temporary contract workers on its books. The company was founded in 1961.
Staff are seen as mere numbers, and their opinions are often disregarded, leading to a culture where everyone is out for themselves.
