Temporary staffing generally refers to temporary assistance that may be required by a company for a variety of reasons including:
- Special projects
- Parental leaves
- Peak work periods
- Sudden position vacancies
- Vacation coverage
- Employee leaves of absence
Temporary staffing allows an employer to meet their immediate staffing needs quickly and flexibly. Additionally, employers may want to consider candidates as potential permanent employees by hiring them on contract first.
In contrast, permanent recruitment refers to a more in-depth search process for a candidate who will be hired directly by the employer on a permanent basis.
While many job seekers are looking for the stability that comes with permanent employment, contract employment offers several advantages as well.
- Contract assignments are a great way to expand on your software and industry experience, as well as
broaden your professional contacts - The hiring process is much quicker
- Some candidates prefer the flexibility and variety provided by contract employment
- Should there be potential for permanent, it can be an opportunity to test-drive a company, to see whether it makes sense to accept permanent employment should the company make an offer
- In approximately 25% of our assignments, the contract employee is hired permanently by the company
