Temporary staffing solutions can help your business stay agile and productive — whether you’re covering annual leave, managing seasonal demand, or need extra hands to handle a surge in workload.

At Intepeople, we make hiring temporary staff simple, efficient, and low risk. Our temps are skilled, ready to go, and available across a wide range of industries.

When to consider hiring temporary staff

Temporary staffing can help your business in all sorts of scenarios, including:

• Covering annual, parental, or extended leave
• Managing busy seasonal or high-demand periods
• Filling a role while you recruit for a permanent hire
• Accessing specialist skills for a short-term project
• Bringing fresh energy and perspective into your team

The benefits of hiring temps

Beyond just filling a gap, temporary staff bring real value to your organisation. They offer:

• Speed and flexibility - many are available to start immediately
• Low risk - if it’s not the right fit, we’ll find a replacement
• Pathways to permanency - if you love your temp, you can often make it long-term

"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

How our temp process works

We make temp hiring easy and stress-free. Here's how it works:

1. We listen. You tell us what you need — timing, skills, culture fit.
2. We match. We find the best available candidate to suit your brief.
3. We manage. We employ and pay the temp, and send you one weekly invoice.

You don’t need to worry about payroll, leave, ACC levies or KiwiSaver — we handle it all.

And if it doesn’t work out? We’ll replace the temp, free of charge.

Support that stays with you

We don’t just place a temp and walk away. Our consultants, Rosie and Linsey, check in regularly during the assignment to ensure everything is running smoothly. For long-term roles, we also offer workstation assessments to support health and safety.
