Meet Peter

"I’ve worked on temporary assignments twice so far with HMRC, in different teams. My HMRC recruitment and onboarding experiences have compared very favourably against other clients. Questions are answered quickly and fully, and I felt thoroughly supported with the usual (required documents, contract details, joining instructions, IT set-up, kit delivery, time-sheeting, line manager arrangements, etc.). During my assignments, I also felt cared for by the HMRC Recruitment Team… whether checking in with them for upcoming internal opportunities or covering off the necessary admin arrangements during the shift to my second assignment here. Please keep doing what you’re doing Team HMRC Recruitment!"

Meet Deepa

"I was contacted by Victoria (HMRC Recruiter) in November 2021 with an interesting role in customs transformation. After a successful interview, I was offered a 3 month temporary assignment to start in January 2022, and Victoria was very supportive and organised with my onboarding and providing my IT equipment. 

I started as Communications and Engagement Lead at the Single Customs Platform working on the communications strategy to migrate customers from the legacy customs platform CHIEF to the new single customs platform – the Customs Declaration Service. I led communications planning, delivery, briefings and ministerial correspondence for the programme and have been well integrated into the programme team. I was provided many opportunities to add value and had a great line manager. I would highly recommend considering a temporary role at HMRC."
