4 Reasons to Consider Employing Temporary Staff

Companies and organizations often fall into the same routine when attempting to fill a job opening. Posting the vacancy to social media, calling a labour broker or listing the position on a job portal are some of the most popular staffing solutions.

Temporary staffing agencies can help you incorporate all these channels to optimally fill the vacancy. Here are 5 reasons why you should consider employing temporary staff instead of offering a permanent position.

1)    Lead Time

Get in touch with a temporary staffing agency today and have a temporary worker fill the vacant position tomorrow. Employing a permanent employee is a timely and often costly exercise as it can take up to several weeks or even months to find the most suitable candidate. Making use of a temporary staffing agency like Kempston Employment Solutions could reduce lead time and ultimately the stress associated with employment.

2)    Lower Risk

The harsh reality is that employees’ equal risks. Potential injuries, harassment and other issues are high-risk factors that go with employing permanent staff. Appointing temporary staff through a staffing agency allows for quick and easy termination without major legal hassles should you be unhappy with the appointed candidate.

3)    Lower Cost and Expenses

Although the hourly rate of a temporary worker is more expensive than that of a permanent employee, you can easily save on recruitment, training, and hiring expenses. Should a permanent employee not work out as planned, you can end up spending and re-spending the money on the above points all over again.

4)    It’s Temporary

Although this might seem a bit obvious, the main benefit of employing temporary staff is in fact that it is not permanent. Dealing with an underperforming candidate isn’t easy and getting rid of that employee is even harder. With unions and lawsuits being prevalent in the modern-day employment environment, temporary staff offer a trouble-free end to the relationship.
