Hiring temporary workers is a growing trend among employers. While the majority of temporary work continues to be traditional blue-collar and low-level office jobs, demand is also growing for short-term managers, financiers, computer experts, engineers, teachers, nurses and other specialized trades or professions.
There are many beneficial aspects of hiring temporary workers, including:
– They are usually cheaper because they do not receive benefits, nor are you required to pay workers’ compensation, employment taxes or unemployment premiums for temporary workers.
– If using a staffing firm to procure workers, the staffing firm is typically responsible for recruiting, placement, training, payroll and supervision of the temporary workers.
– You can use them to respond to fluctuating staffing needs, such as an unexpectedly busy period, seasonal needs, employee absences or special projects.
– They allow you to respond strategically to economic or product-demand cycles, instead of hiring several workers and then laying them off months later.
– Hiring temporary workers could be a recruiting tool to test the abilities of potential employees, then permanently hiring only the ones who perform well.
– You can use temporary workers to fill vacant positions while searching for full-time employees.
– They can be a conservative way to rebuild your workforce following an economic downturn.
