Temporary and contract employees often feel underappreciated and unrecognised, yet equally as often contribute as much to the success of each business they work in, as any permanent employee. Recruitment Solutions’ 2007-2008 Temporary (Temp) of the Year Competition aims to acknowledge and reward these hard working individuals.

The 2007-2008 competition runs Australia and New Zealand wide, and covers three categories:

Local/Branch Temp of the Month – awarding a stand-out temporary or contract employee at a local level each month. Each Temp of the Month Winner between July 2007 and June 2008 is automatically eligible for the State Temp of the Year award.

State Temp of the Year – The Recruitment Solutions General Manager, along with a panel of industry and client partners, will decide from the local/branch winners, the State/Territory Temp of the Year. The winner will be announced in each state/territory in July 2008.

Recruitment Solutions Temp of the Year - Each state winner, the employers who nominated them and Recruitment Solutions Managers from each location will treated to a 5-star weekend and gala dinner. Here, the national winner and runner-up will be announced. Each candidate will be evaluated based on the contribution that they have made to our clients’ organisations throughout the year, across a range of industries. The client’s reason for nominating will also be taken into account in conjunction with a candidate panel interview (prior to gala day).
