As the world's largest family-run recruitment company, Reed works with more than 30,000 organisations globally. Our purpose has remained the same since Sir Alec Reed founded the business in 1960: improving lives through work. That means finding the right fit for both sides — for your business, and for the professional joining your team.

Our consultants don't recruit across every sector and hope for the best. Each one specialises in specific disciplines, which means they understand the technical requirements, career motivations, and market dynamics relevant to the roles you're hiring for. That specialist knowledge translates into sharper shortlists and better long-term hires.

Every professional we put forward has been thoroughly assessed for skills, experience, and cultural fit. Our pre-employment screening processes — including background checks and competency-based evaluation — reduce the risk of a costly hiring mistake before it happens.

Our temporary recruitment process at Reed Malta is designed to optimise your hiring strategy and support your business from the initial search right through to post-placement. As a trusted temp agency in the Maltese market, we offer a variety of tailored service options based on the level of support you require. Whether you need access to our niche skills search tool, specialised candidate testing, or cost-effective pathways from temporary to permanent placements, our expert team is here to guide you.

The core benefits of interim and contract recruitment revolve around saving your business valuable time, money, and resources. Temporary staffing provides a strategic advantage, allowing you to easily cover seasonal fluctuations (like Malta's busy summer periods) or unexpected staff absences. Furthermore, it offers increased flexibility for project-based work, ensuring you can scale your workforce quickly and effectively to meet the dynamic needs of your organisation.

Hiring temporary staff is a fantastic way to resolve a short-term issue or provide extra hands for a large project. However, once you have secured talented individuals who add real value to your daily operations, it is worth considering how they might drive sustainable, long-term growth in a permanent role. As a dedicated recruitment partner, our temp-to-perm hiring process offers a flexible, bespoke approach to seamlessly transition proven temporary workers into permanent members of your team.

The risks associated with hiring temporary employees can range from fraudulent right-to-work paperwork to undisclosed criminal convictions. To effectively manage these risks in the local market, businesses should develop a comprehensive employee screening policy. This approach should include carrying out stringent identity checks, adverse financial checks, and police conduct checks specifically for temporary and contract staff, ensuring they are vetted just as thoroughly as permanent hires.

Very quickly. With access to an extensive pool of temporary workers and pre-interviewed, fully referenced shortlists tailored to the Malta market, we can move at an exceptional pace. All right-to-work checks are completed upfront so professionals can step into their roles as soon as you need them. Your dedicated Reed Malta consultant will manage the entire process from end to end, keeping compliance meticulously on track throughout.

While all three options provide excellent flexibility, they serve entirely different purposes depending on your organisation’s immediate needs. Understanding these distinctions can help you choose the right solution for your business:

• Temporary: This is ideal for short-term coverage to address immediate needs, such as seasonal peaks in tourism or retail, sudden projects, or staff absences. Reed provides pre-interviewed, referenced candidates with verified right-to-work status for rapid starts.
• Interim: These are experienced professionals, often at senior or executive levels, engaged to lead structural change, deliver highly specific outcomes, or stabilise teams for a defined period.
• Contract: These are fixed-term engagements closely aligned to a specific project or timeframe, typically requiring highly specialist skills (such as IT rollouts or financial audits).

We supply temporary, interim, and contract professionals across Malta in a wide variety of sectors. As a leading recruitment agency with deep local networks, we consistently deliver skilled professionals for administration, customer service, banking, accountancy, finance, IT, iGaming and beyond - always tailored to your specific operational requirements.
