Why is NOW a good time to use temporary staff?

REDUCE OVERHEAD COSTS
Permanent employees cost more than just the salary they are being paid.

REDUCE OVERTIME PAY
Rather than putting excessive demands on current permanent staff and incurring overtime costs, an employer can use a staffing agency and bring in temporary workers to reduce the workload during busy times.

THE NEED FOR SHORT TERM STAFF
An employer may need a temporary employee due to permanent staff being sick, on maternity leave, having a family emergency, or taking a leave of absence.
Hiring through a temporary staffing agency gives an employer the flexibility to schedule someone for a short period to handle these situations.

SAVE ON TRAINING, TIME, AND REDUCE HIRING RISKS
Training new employees requires a significant investment of both time and costs.
When searching for someone to cover a few months of work, it doesn’t make sense to spend money to train them. By using a temporary staffing agency an employer is provided with someone who is as suitable as possible to do the work they need.

HANDLING ON-BOARDING AND PAYROLL
A staffing agency takes care of the temporary employees onboarding paperwork, payroll, taxes. pension and holiday.

ACCESS TO TALENT NETWORKS
A good staffing agency spends years building up their talent network through referrals, networking, and speaking with candidates daily. An employer usually doesn’t have the resources to constantly engage talent.

THE ABILITY TO HIRE QUICKLY
An employer may have an employee leave and need an immediate replacement. A temp staffing agency can deliver qualified talent many times in less than 24 hours due to its extensive network of candidates.

INDUSTRY MARKET KNOWLEDGE
Another benefit of using a staffing agency is that an employer gains access to the recruiter’s knowledge of skilled available candidates both active and passive, salary ranges, and local market trends.

THE ABILITY TO TRY OUT AN EMPLOYEE BEFORE EXTENDING A PERMANENT OFFER
It can be hard to determine if an employee will be a good fit purely through an interview. By starting an employee on a temporary assignment, the employer can see if everything is a good match for both parties before extending a permanent offer.
