HR and Employment Awards 2025| 15 Corporate Vision Leading Temporary Staffing Agency of the Year 2025 – UK The job market is becoming increasingly saturated and, for many, hunting for employment in this landscape can be incredibly overwhelming. Between cut-throat competition, varying experience requirements, and finding the right fit for you, there are countless challenges impeding many individuals’ journey to employment. Enter P.J Staffing, an agency dedicated to helping job seekers overcome these obstacles by pairing candidates with positions that match their skills and aspirations. We caught up with Owner and Managing Director Paul Evans below. Nestled in the vibrant city of Leeds, Yorkshire, P.J Staffing is a staffing agency providing a variety of staffing solutions to a number of sectors, including catering and hospitality, cleaning, and commercial businesses. Yorkshire’s go-to staffing provider, the agency often provides cover in cases of sickness, holidays, and vacancies, as well as catering to events in which a temporary staffing solution is the best option to meet the high volume of staffing needs. With the tagline of, “Providing Great People,” P.J Staffing truly understands the instrumental role that staffing and recruitment plays in the success of a company or event. In fact, the agency is a proud member of the British Institute of Recruiters, the UK’s principle professional body for both inhouse and agency recruiters, setting the gold standard in the field of recruitment. P.J Staffing was founded in 2023 by Paul Evans. Originally from South Wales, Paul has now been a member of the Leeds community for more than 15 years. Paul embarked on his own professional journey whilst working at a local hotel, a decision that ignited a passion for the hospitality sector that has since served as the very cornerstone of his professional development. Paul’s career path shifted when he ventured into the world of recruitment, being headhunted to join a prominent UK temporary staffing agency in Leeds. He saw immense success in his role across the catering, commercial, and industrial sectors, driven by his dedication to both hospitality and recruitment. After eight years of dedicated service, Paul decided to take the leap and set up his very own agency, the now-renowned P.J Staffing. “Our unique selling point for our clients and candidates is that I, myself, have worked from the ground up with the business,” Paul told us. “The roles we currently service, I have done, so I know what quality and skillset I expect from my teams. Our clients and candidates see me on-site and as a business owner, still getting my hands dirty and remaining involved with the day-to-day needs of our clients.” At its core, P.J Staffing is not merely about filling vacancies; since its inception, the agency has been focused on supporting individuals in their journey whilst strengthening the local community. That commitment extends beyond employment, which is why P.J Staffing has recently partnered with Candlelighters Trust, a local Yorkshire charity supporting young cancer patients and their families. The agency has partnered with the charity’s Candlelighter Club as a Guardian, committed to pledge £5,000 a year across a three-year period. Beyond its commitment to giving back through charitable initiatives, P.J Staffing continues to make an impact through its hand-on approach to staffing major events. As the event and festival season kicks off, one of the agency’s most notable recent projects is the Dante Festival at York Races. The team managed the entire cleaning operation, ensuring the site was spotless and sparkling throughout from pre-racing to post cleans. P.J Staffing provided and managed day and night teams, as well as a variety of other staffing – from bartenders and table-cleaners to kitchen porters and supervisors. Named the UK’s Leading Temporary Staffing Agency of the Year, P.J Staffing has built a reputation of prestige within its local community as a dependable and dedicated staffing solutions provider, as evidenced by a number of glowing testimonials left by clients and candidates alike. One candidate wrote: “I have absolutely loved working with P.J Staffing. From the very beginning, I was welcomed into a team that truly respects and values every individual, regardless of race, religion, or background. The flexibility and supportive environment have made my experience truly enjoyable, and I would highly recommend P.J Staffing to anyone seeking part-time employment. They are one of, if not the, best agency in Leeds.” While a client reported: “We’ve been working with P.J Staffing for quite some time, and their exceptional service has been consistently outstanding. Their commitment to excellence is evident in every interaction, and they have become a trusted partner in our operations. We couldn’t be more satisfied by the level of service and assistance they provide, and we highly recommend P.J Staffing to anyone seeking reliability and quality.” Contact: Paul Evans Company: P.J Staffing Ltd Web Address: www.pjstaffing.co.uk
