Why would someone want to be a temporary worker?

  • Flexibility: Many people like the control over when they work, where they work and what type of assignment they choose.  

  • Opportunity: A temporary assignment can be a great way to get a foot in the door.

  • Training: Many people like the idea of free training that the staffing service provides.

 Why would someone want to hire a temporary worker?

  • Change in work load: Temporary employees are used to address normal fluctuations in a company’s work load. In order to save money, client companies keep staff levels low and use temporary employees to handle the excess work. When the extra work has been completed and the company returns to a normal work load the temporary employees are simply placed on assignment elsewhere.

  • Looking for a permanent employee: Businesses will often hire a temporary employee to fill a new opening in the company. If the person is good at the job, the company arranges with the staffing service to hire the person on a permanent basis.
