What do I need to know about hiring temporary employees?

A temp employee or fixed-term professional may be just what your business needs. 

Whether you’re filling gaps based on seasonal demand, worker shortages or for a single project, temporary staff can give you the flexibility you require. You can employ for short-term gains, making quicker hires than with permanent positions.

Likewise, hiring a temporary employee means you can avoid overstaffing once the work is done. 

But many companies struggle to decide when to hire temporary employees. When is the right time, and what advantages will they bring?

In our guide, we explore temporary employee benefits for companies. We discuss why you should consider hiring temporary vs. permanent, and look at when a temp employee might suit your business circumstances.

Standout points from our Temp vs. Perm Guide

Here’s a sneak preview of our top benefits of hiring temporary professionals. 

1. Instant impact: Temporary workers are used to joining organisations for a short period of time, so can make an immediate impact on your organisation. The process for hiring temporary workers is also traditionally a lot quicker. You’ll hire for technical skills to deliver something specific rather than for long-term cultural fit. 
2. Fresh perspectives: Sometimes it just takes one outsider to completely change the way an organisation operates. The more temp employees you hire, the more unique perspectives you’re going to get. Temps usually have a very specific skillset and are accustomed to performing on niche projects, bringing even more unique skills to your company.
3. Cost effective: Temporary workers are by definition an interim solution and do not require a fixed annual salary. They’ll also generally incur fewer costs than are associated with a permanent employee. You can then hire when the need arises, responding to market needs and demands as they happen.
