How Do Temp Agencies Work?
A common misconception is that temp agencies are the same as staffing agencies. While both agencies aim to find employees for an employer, the method by which they proceed and the kinds of candidates they specialize in differ. Unlike a staffing agency, which recruits temp-to-hire and direct-hire candidates and presents a curated selection of potential hires for the employer to vet, a temp agency independently fills in temporary vacancies on the behalf of the employer.
Though work found by a temp agency rarely lasts beyond the contract terms, a temporary or a seasonal job can be a fulfilling position for newcomers to the job market and summer students.
