Think of us first!

Don’t forget: we can provide any contractor in any industry for any length of time.

Don’t just use us when your usual agency can’t help. Use us for – and save money on – ALL your contracting needs!

Now that we’ve got a number of people4 sites, we think it makes sense to use people4 e-mail addresses. It’s more straightforward than using individual e-mails for all of our different sites.

So, please add ‘people4.com’ to your safe addresses, so that our vital e-mails can get through! Thank you!

In other news, we have a new Account Executive, Chloe Hart, who has previously worked for both Telegen and Homewise. She brings charm, banter and, most importantly, enthusiasm!

 

Latest stats…

We’ve started to update the Seller, Buyer and skills counts on our home pages again, so take a look for the latest figures!

23,537 Sellers – 2,160 Buyers – 7,047 skills … and counting!

 

Take the plunge!

Still feeling nervous about using the sites? Remember that you’re not committed to anything until you agree to the contract online – after you’ve found a Seller and agreed the details of the contract with them.

If you need some reassurance, you can see what other Buyers have thought, by looking at our testimonials page, which has comments from both Buyers and Sellers. Why not get in touch to tell us what you think?

If you’re wondering how the people4 sites can work with your current systems, we’re happy to help.

Just contact us to discuss your needs. And remember that we’re happy to provide on-site training for your recruitment and resourcing teams.

 

Professional Contractors Group

Our partnership with the «Professional Contractors Group» (PCG) has succeeded in driving lots of new Sellers to our sites, particularly in the IT and Internet category.

When you’re searching for Sellers in this category, look out for the PCG logo in the profiles of PCG-member Sellers.

White-label sites allow organisations and companies to offer an own-branded freelance marketplace to their users, run and maintained by people4business. The PCG’s white-label site is here.

The PCG is the not-for-profit trade association that helps its members to run their contracting or consulting business in full compliance with the law.

Stay up to date!

When you are shortlisted for an assignment, one of our team will get in touch to double check that you are available and interested.

Please can you let us know as soon as possible, as otherwise we are likely to recommend another Seller for the assignment – one who has told us they are interested.

This is also a plea to keep your availability information up to date, as it saves a lot of time if we know when you are not available.
