Prices, timelines and formalities
14. What is the difference between staff provision, temp agency work and subcontracting?
With staff provision, workers reinforce your teams and follow your work instructions. With subcontracting, the contractor delivers a work package with its own organisation and responsibility for the result. A temp agency is usually local. Seti LDA will recommend the best formula for your project.

The rate is set by free quote according to trade, qualification, duration, location and working hours. Seti LDA does not publish a single price list because every need is different.
16. How fast can staff be on site?
The lead time depends on the profile sought and the country of work. The more precise your request (trade, headcount, location, start date), the faster Seti LDA replies.
17. How long does an assignment last?
Assignments can be short (a few days), several weeks or long-term, depending on your need and the staff provision contract.
