Top2. How can I make sure I get some really good candidates for my role?
To make sure we get the right match for your role, please supply as much detailed information about the job as possible.

Every candidate completes an hour interview by the ArtsTemps administrator which includes a 30 minute testing in MS office, grammar and copy typing.

We are keen to keep our fees (do we need to say low?) competitive, we only charge 3% of the annual salary.

9. How soon will I need to pay my invoice?
Out terms state that payment is to be paid within five working days, unless otherwise agreed, if you need additional time, please contact the ArtsTemps Coordinator to discuss this.
10. How will I be charged for my temp?
You will be sent an invoice on the start date of the placement.
11. What happens if my placed candidate doesn't work out?
This rarely occurs but if it does happen with 12 weeks, but depending on the reasons we can discuss providing a placement free of charge.
12. Why should I use the UAL in-house recruitment agency?
The University of the Arts London is the largest arts university in Europe, we have a wealth of talent in a wide range of creative disciplines at a range of levels (from Fda, BA and MA's), and we offer the opportunity to find out about graduate skills directly. PLUS - our fee is relatively low and only due on placement of the graduate.
13. Does ArtsJobs offer additional recruitment services?
Yes, if our recruitment service isn't for you and you'd prefer to receive the candidate CV's yourself, you could choose from following options:
- Page banner on the graduate page
- E-Shot the database with a branded advert
- Place a branded advert on our website
- Give us a call to discuss the best option for your needs.
14. I have a big recruitment drive coming up, how can you help me?
We are happy to discuss one of the above options. We also run a part-time job fair twice a year, in April and October, stands are available to book at any stage. Our part-time job fair is a cost effective way to recruit a large number of staff for temporary or part-time roles. If you are looking to recruit outside of the April and October dates, let us know we now offer tailored recruitment events to employers, previously we've held events for H&M, Puma and Forever 21.
