Where
Which location, and how to get in.
The site the cover is needed at, and anything about access that would slow somebody down on arrival. If we already know the building, much of this may be understood between us already.
Booking cover
A good booking starts with a good brief.
We do not need an essay. We do need enough to find somebody who will work well in your building rather than somebody who is simply available.
If we already know your building, a short call is often all it takes.
The useful four
Four things that between them tell us almost everything we need.
When
Dates, hours and how long for.
Start date, finish time, whether it is one day or several weeks, and whether the pattern changes. If the end date is genuinely open, say so rather than guessing.
What
The role, in plain terms.
Reception, front of house, hosting, administration, office support. What the day actually involves matters more than the job title on the booking.
Who fits
Anything that affects who will do well.
Pace, formality, who they will be looking after, systems in regular use, and anything unusual about the day. This is the part that turns an adequate booking into a good one.
Short notice
Same-day and next-morning requirements are a normal part of temporary staffing. Tell us what you know, flag what is fixed and what is flexible, and we will be straight with you about what is realistic in the time available.
If a booking is planned well in advance, the extra time is best spent on the fourth point above rather than on the first three.
