Opinion: Why you should look at temporary staffing over permanent staffing?
There are several reasons why an employer might consider hiring temporary staff over permanent staff:
- Flexibility: Temporary staff can be hired on a short-term basis to cover temporary absences or increases in workload. This allows an employer to scale up or down their workforce as needed.
- Cost-effectiveness: Hiring temporary staff can be more cost-effective than hiring permanent staff, as there are no long-term employment commitments or benefits to pay.
- Expertise: Temporary staff can bring specialised skills or experience that may not be available in-house. This can be especially useful for project-based work.
- Testing the waters: An employer can use temporary staff as a way to “try out” an employee before committing to a full-time hire.
Overall, the decision to hire temporary staff over permanent staff will depend on the specific needs and goals of the employer and here at flexhive we’re happy to chat further about this.
