Why You Should Consider Hiring Temporary Employees

Posted

Some positions and corporate situations pose special challenges to hiring managers. If you’re finding it difficult to hire great candidates for high turnover positions, have corporate situations such as hiring freezes or short-term staffing needs, or are overwhelmed when it comes to selecting the best candidates for your open positions,  it’s time to consider hiring temporary employees. Temporary staffing firms are a great resource when you’re hiring under fire, solving many challenges that can make keeping your staffing numbers up and the quality of your employees high.

High-Turnover Positions

Some positions — think medical and industrial jobs — have inherently high turnover rates. If you’re constantly dealing with short-staffing situations due to turnover, or struggling to recruit good applicants to fill positions where turnover is high, consider letting recruiting experts take some of the load off. Staffing firms have a pool of qualified applicants to draw from, making filling hard-to-fill positions easy, even on short notice.

Special Hiring Considerations

Certain situations such as hiring freezes, short-term employee projects or staffing needs, or PRN/on-call positions often pose a challenge for HR staff. Hiring permanent employees is either impossible or unwise, but you’ve no idea how to fill the vacancies in the meantime. Temporary employees are the perfect fit for these positions, allowing HR and hiring managers to work within special hiring considerations rather than be defeated by them. A staffing agency familiar with your industry has candidates just waiting to fill these hard-to-fill positions — all you have to do is call.

You Want the Best

When you’re staffing a new organization or department and need a crew of great employees, foresee a hiring blitz and are overwhelmed by the idea of sorting through stacks of applications, or you’re just tired of hiring sub-par employees, consider temporary employees. Temporary employment agencies have recruiting experts with experience putting well-qualified candidates together with the employers who need their skills. Temp-to-hire contracts can allow you to offer long-term employment to the best of the candidates you receive, but if you get a few candidates who aren’t quite right, there’s no long-term commitment required.

Special positions and employment situations call for special hiring considerations. If you haven’t considered hiring temporary employees yet, now’s the time to contact the recruiting experts at Staffing Partners to discuss how they can help you to staff your organization with the best employees for the positions.
