People First Compliance: The Foundation of the Gold Standard

At 3Q Recruitment, The Gold Standard in Temporary Staffing is built on People First Compliance.
In healthcare, community and social care services, compliance is essential to safety, trust and inspection readiness.

Our recruitment and staffing processes are fully aligned with HIQA standards, HSE requirements, Garda vetting and quality assurance frameworks, ensuring every temporary professional supplied is safe, prepared and supported.

People First Compliance means:

  • Fully vetted and reference-checked staff

  • Mandatory training completed before placement

  • Clear governance and audit-ready documentation

  • Ongoing quality assurance beyond placement

Every temporary employee completes Garda Vetting, structured onboarding, mandatory training (IPC, Manual Handling, HACCP, Safeguarding & Children First) and role-specific screening.

Compliance does not stop on day one. Our Gold Standard includes regular site visits, spot checks, performance reviews and direct support from our Temporary Support Team, seven days a week.

This approach protects service users, supports frontline teams and ensures staffing solutions that stand up to inspection, audit and real-world operational pressure.

Our team is 100% committed to recruiting and providing quality experienced Temporary Staff to our clients that match the quality of your teams

We strive to deliver this Gold Standard by partnering with our clients, our Temporary employees and front line management teams, to ensure the Temporary employees supplied mirror and match the internal team standards by being inducted and trained into our client systems, standards and procedures.

We take a hands-on approach, that is personalised and quality driven, to ensure we deliver consistently to our gold standard. Our clients trust us to come up with specific temporary staffing solutions that are right for them.
