Why Workstream?

At Workstream, we aim to be our clients’ most trusted recruitment partner and a premier provider of human resource solutions for the construction industry. Here are some of the things that make us different:

• Flexible Rates – Our rates are dependent on the level of service required and vary according to the location and duration of work. Nothing is fixed, everything is negotiable.
• Clear, straightforward turnover discounts – We offer clients a turnover discount scheme that applies across all our services: temporary site personnel, permanent staff placement, survey services and instrument hire. At the end of each 12-month billing period, Workstream credits the account of each qualifying client with rebates that vary according to the level of turnover. The more you spend, the higher our rates of discount.
• Complete teams, as well as individuals – Workstream can supply everything from a single labourer to a complete, multi-disciplinary team for projects such as site setting out, curtain walling, logistics, etc.
• All the services you want from a single supplier – We can meet practically all your site personnel requirements with one order. So there’s no need to waste time dealing with several different agencies, and less paperwork too!
• In-depth industry know-how and experience – Founded in 1989, we built our business on the construction industry background of our directors and managers. Workstream has specialised in construction since its foundation and has never engaged in any other areas of recruitment. So while others may boast a bigger turnover, they’re unlikely to be so focused on our industry.
• Putting technology to work for our clients – Our recruitment system records reference checks, skill checks, training needs, CVs, candidate histories, skill ratings, and payroll details in a central database accessible from every one of our offices. Jobs are posted to our Web site several times a day, putting our clients’ current openings in front of hundreds of thousands of potential candidates.
• Financial stability and flexibility – Workstream is a financially secure, consistently profitable company and we adhere to the highest standards of corporate governance. We are particularly renowned for the speed and flexibility of our payments to operatives. That means a lot to our clients because our prompt payment system encourages a greater degree of loyalty from Workstream people — loyalty that’s reflected in enhanced levels of reliability, skills and workmanship.
• Ongoing commitment to training and health & safety – Workstream’s health and safety record is exemplary. We ensure continuous compliance with regulations through regular CITB education for our operatives and constant updates to our health and safety procedures. We are committed to the aims of the MCG and constantly strive for 100% compliance with CSCS registration requirements.
• Nationwide coverage – Operating from eight offices — Bicester, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Leeds, London, Manchester and Newcastle — Workstream can deliver a local, more personal service across the nation.
• Quality of service – Workstream’s quality of service is underpinned by accreditation to ISO 9001 and the Investors in People award. Every one of the company’s offices works to exacting standards to maintain the quality levels our clients, candidates and operatives have come to expect.
