About Us
Coventry's Recruitment Partner for Over a Decade
Recruiting Today has built a strong reputation as one of Coventry's most responsive and dependable temporary staffing agencies.

Our candidate network spans thousands of pre-registered, vetted workers across the West Midlands. This means when you call us for warehouse operatives, general labourers, or office administrators, we're not starting from scratch — we're matching from an active, ready workforce.

We pride ourselves on building long-term partnerships with Coventry employers who need a staffing agency they can genuinely rely on.

What We Cover
Temporary Staffing Services We Provide in Coventry
From warehouse floors to hotel front desks, we supply skilled temporary workers across every major sector operating in Coventry and the West Midlands.
Industrial & Warehouse Staffing
Coventry's industrial sector is one of the busiest in the Midlands, with major logistics and manufacturing operations requiring consistent, dependable labour. We supply trained warehouse operatives, pickers and packers, forklift drivers (FLT licensed), production operatives, and dispatch staff on short or extended contracts. Our candidates are familiar with safe manual handling, pallet operations, and warehouse management systems.
Commercial & Office Support
Whether you need someone to cover reception while your regular team is away, extra hands for a busy administrative period, or contact centre advisors for a seasonal spike, our commercial staffing division places experienced office professionals throughout Coventry. Roles include receptionists, administrative assistants, customer service advisors, and data entry clerks.
We regularly fill admin support roles across the UK, and our Coventry team has placed workers in major commercial offices throughout the CV postcode area. Looking for admin jobs covered by a reliable temp? We can help.
Construction & Skilled Trades
Coventry is undergoing significant development and regeneration, with new housing, commercial, and infrastructure projects creating sustained demand for skilled tradespeople. We supply general labourers, skilled site labourers, scaffolders, and site support staff to construction companies, main contractors, and specialist subcontractors across the area. We also place bricklayers and painters and decorators on temporary contracts nationwide. Our scaffolding and specialist trade candidates hold CSCS cards and relevant certifications.
Hospitality & Events
Coventry's events calendar, hotels, conference venues, and catering operations require a flexible workforce that can scale rapidly. We supply experienced hospitality workers including hotel receptionists, kitchen porters, chefs, waiting staff, bar staff, and event support workers. Our hotel receptionists and head chefs are placed nationally. Temporary catering and events staff are available at short notice for functions of all sizes in Coventry.
Logistics, Transport & Other Sectors
Beyond our core sectors, Recruiting Today also supports businesses needing refuse loaders, web developers on temporary contracts, software developers, and other specialist workers.
