Recruitment - Office TempCategory: Business
Article posted by: Jon Richards
The staple business of the Recruitment agency for decades has been the procurement of the temporary member of staff. It enables the company in question to offload the taxing and ultimately relatively insignificant task of vetting staff that will have very little effect on the outcome of business decisions and ethics, and, of course, very little to do with profit or productivity.
The office temp is there, more of ten than not, to clear the runway for the permanent staff, the professionals of the department, and allow the menial tasks to not bog down the bottom line. The recruitment agency, therefore, are looking for candidates that can fulfil a simple roll, and yet convey the personality of the company into which they will be placed, and represent the company perfectly should the need to do so arise.
Skill levels for temps are often very different, but it matters not because for the most part, the tasks will be of a low skill level. It is an ideal way for people to find potentially full-time permanent positions, an ideal way for someone to make some extra cash during an interim period of time between, say permanent terms of employment, university semesters, or periods of extended travel. The temp position is often used in this way, and everybody gets something out of it.
The pay is often far lower than a permanent member of staff would earn, but the benefits of the contract being essentially a casual agreement are as much to the satisfaction of the employee as they are to the satisfaction of the employer.
Most offices could not run efficiently without the temp, but at the same time, it is a role that is a luxury for a company as much as anything, one that frees up the time of the permanent staff in order for them to get on with the money-making side of things. Recruitment of the office temp is carried out exactly along these lines of understanding, and is an interesting and unusual basis for a relationship between worker and company.
