Temporary agencies, which are more widely known as temp agencies, employ headhunters whose goal is to find job candidates for short-term employment opportunities. Sometimes these jobs pop up due to someone leaving a company on short notice or it could be that a temp job is project based or seasonal. 

A company might hire a temp agency when they need to embark on a big filing or inventory project and can’t spare one of their full-time employees to do it so they need a short-term worker. A lot of retailers employ seasonal, temporary workers during the holiday season when shopping is at an all-time high.

What Is a Temp Staffing Agency?

Usually temp jobs last for six months or less, although in some cases, a job position may be designated as “temp to perm,” meaning that the job has the potential to turn into a full-time position after a certain amount of time.

“Temp-to-perm” jobs can be great trial runs for both employees and employers to decide if they are a good fit for each other.

Temporary agencies can be a helpful resource if you need a job quickly or you would like to have a position with flexible hours.

For instance, if you are working on growing your passion into an actual career but you are not making enough money from it yet, a short term position could be a good fit for you. 

You could get a temp job when you are strapped for cash and be comforted in the knowledge that you do not have to make a long term commitment to the job and will soon be able to go back to your passion project.
