What Is Temporary Staffing?

Temporary work or temporary employment (also called gigs) refers to an employment situation where the working arrangement is limited to a certain period of time based on the needs of the employing organization. Temporary employees are sometimes called "contractual", "seasonal", "interim", "casual staff", "outsourcing", "freelance".

Sometimes. It depends on how long you’ve been temping with that company and the service agreement the agency has with them. It takes a lot of time and effort to find the right person for a full-time job, and it’s very costly for a company if they hire the wrong person. That’s why many leave the job to recruitment pros, who are hired to source the best candidates for full-time jobs, contract work and temporary assignments.
