Hiring Temps: What You Need to Know

18/07/2018

Whether it's to fill a short-term gap, hold the fort or extend capacity when you need it, most businesses can benefit from hiring temporary staff for a number of different reasons.

But how do you go about finding the right temporary staff, and how does the process work?

When to consider hiring temporary staff

  • During seasonal and high demand periods
  • To cover annual leave
  • To cover parental leave
  • When you require specialist skills to cover specific projects
  • To bring fresh eyes to your workplace

 

Beyond filling a 'gap' there are so many benefits to hiring temporary staff. They offer flexibility, can usually start very quickly (sometimes immediately!), and if you find the right person that you really want to hold on to - there may be an option to offer a permanent role.

"We regularly use Intepeople temps when our people are on extended leave, have moved to another role within the Council or we’ve got a vacancy and need some help until the new person arrives. They’re professional, friendly, highly skilled, helpful, flexible and keen to do a great job.

"We’ve actually ended up permanently employing quite a few over the years which says everything about their quality and qualities."

Joanna Cranness - HR Manager, Tasman District Council
