Since opening its Funchal office in June 2024, Timing has continued to strengthen its temporary staffing operation in Madeira. The latest figures show 75 active clients, more than 500 workers currently active and a database of over 7,000 candidates in the region.
Timing’s arrival on the island of Madeira marked the beginning of an operation designed to provide more direct support to companies, candidates and workers in the region. When it opened, the Funchal office became the company’s tenth location in Portugal and its first presence on the Portuguese islands.
Since then, the operation has grown from two initial clients to 75 active clients, mainly in hospitality, food and beverage, and services. This development reflects growing demand for staffing solutions capable of responding to the specific pace and requirements of the regional economy.
Timing currently has more than 500 workers active in Madeira. This is supported by a database of over 7,000 candidates, which is regularly updated to support recruitment processes and enable a faster response to companies’ staffing requirements.
Hospitality and food and beverage account for a significant share of the operation, although the company also supports sectors such as services and construction. In these areas, temporary staffing enables companies to strengthen their teams during periods of increased activity, cover absences and respond to seasonal or short-term workforce requirements.
Throughout this period, Timing has integrated more than 1,200 people of different nationalities into its operation in the region. This figure reflects the diversity of Madeira’s labour market and requires close support throughout the different stages involved in hiring and integrating professionals.
The team’s work also includes checking the documentation required for recruitment processes and seeking legal support whenever more complex situations arise. This assistance is particularly important in processes involving foreign workers and different documentation requirements.
The growth of the operation has required greater capacity for candidate and client service, ongoing support and training. More than simply increasing the number of clients or workers, consolidating Timing’s presence in Madeira involves creating the conditions to respond closely to the companies and people who use the Funchal office.
For organisations, having a local team in Funchal provides a direct point of contact for discussing staffing requirements and developing solutions adapted to their sector and operational context. For candidates and workers, it provides a local point of contact where they can explore opportunities, clarify questions and receive support throughout the process.
The growth recorded since June 2024 reinforces the importance of a local presence in a market shaped by seasonality, a diverse range of sectors and the need for rapid responses. Timing’s operation in Madeira therefore remains focused on connecting companies that need professionals with people looking for new opportunities in the region.
Candidates can view the job opportunities on the island of Madeira and follow the vacancies currently available in the region.
Organisations can learn more about Timing’s human resources solutions or contact the Funchal office directly.
The development of Timing’s operation in Madeira was also featured by Jornal da Madeira, in a report focusing on the company’s growth in the region and the role of temporary staffing in meeting the needs of the local labour market.
