Temporary Receptionist
Is the front desk unstaffed due to illness, vacation, or resignation? A temporary receptionist ensures that guests are greeted professionally, calls are answered, and the day-to-day operations at the front desk aren’t disrupted—without requiring you to commit to a permanent position.
At Jysk Vikarservice, we find experienced temporary receptionists who quickly familiarize themselves with your switchboard system, visitor procedures, and your company’s culture—and who are ready to warmly welcome your guests from day one.
Temporary receptionist for companies that can't function without a staffed reception desk
Quick startup
In many cases, we can provide a temporary receptionist as early as the next business day—and even sooner if the need is urgent.
A Professional First Impression
Our temporary staff are accustomed to serving as the face of the company to the outside world and quickly adapt to your tone, procedures, and visitor flow.
Flexible duration
From a single day of coverage to a temporary assignment lasting several months—we tailor the duration to your actual needs.
When do you need a temporary receptionist?
The reception desk is often a company’s first point of contact—both for visitors and for incoming calls. If there’s a staffing shortage, it’s quickly noticed.
Common reasons for hiring a temporary worker:
- Short-term absences such as sick leave, maternity leave, or vacation
- Transition Period Upon Termination While a New Receptionist Is Being Recruited
- Seasonal periods with more guests or calls
- Events, conferences, or other occasions with additional reception needs
- As a trial period before you decide on a permanent position
Whatever the reason, hiring a temporary receptionist will ensure that your reception desk remains staffed and professional.
What does the job of a temporary receptionist entail?
Unlike a broader administrative role, the receptionist’s role typically focuses on what happens in and around the reception area:
- Guest Reception: Professional and courteous service for visitors.
- Call Forwarding: Answering and forwarding incoming phone calls.
- Visitor Registration: Registration and access control in accordance with your procedures.
- Mail and Packages: Receipt and forwarding of mail and packages.
- General coordination: Booking meeting rooms and providing light administrative support in connection with reception duties.
