How Does Temp Recruitment Differ?

Hiring for temp roles differs from permanent hiring in several key ways:

  • Speed and Urgency: Temp roles often require a faster hiring process to quickly fill immediate needs or short-term projects, whereas permanent roles usually involve a more thorough vetting process.
  • Flexibility: Temporary hiring focuses on finding candidates who can adapt quickly and are comfortable with short-term assignments, whereas permanent hiring seeks long-term cultural fit and career growth potential.
  • Contractual Terms: Temp roles typically involve different contractual arrangements, often with specific end dates and fewer benefits, while permanent positions offer more job security and full employee benefits.
  • Skill Focus: Temp hiring often prioritises specific, project-related skills and experience, while permanent roles may place more emphasis on a broader skill set and the potential for long-term development within the company.
