Special Project Approaching? Consider Hiring Short-term Help

Say you’ve never used a staffing firm before or have only used them to bring in people to cover for sick employees or other extended absences. Now you have a big project coming up, and you don’t think you have the manpower to get it done on time and within budget. Or you just don’t want to take current employees away from their normal daily responsibilities to work on the project. This is where working with a reputable, professional staffing agency comes in handy.

The biggest benefit of using an agency to find qualified, experienced employees to work on your special projects is that you don’t have to bring them on full-time, with all of the related time, paperwork and expense. The agency will do the searching, advertising, screening and background checks. They’ll take care of payroll, taxes, workers’ compensation and benefits. And once the project is over, the employees’ time with you is over. No fuss, no muss.

Hiring someone through an agency also eliminates the direct burden of workers compensation, liability and potential legal exposure.  This is a great reason to hire through an agency rather than hiring an independent contractor yourself.

When you work with a firm that knows your industry, they’ll be able to find people with specialized expertise and experience in your field, who will often need less ramp-up time than a permanent hire. You and your team will be able to get those projects that needed to be done yesterday, done today.

Something you may not have thought of: bringing in a temporary employee or two will mean bringing in fresh perspectives.  New talent brings new ideas to your organization. Your temporary employee may have spent time at a marquee brand or one of your top competitors, and that experience could mean success for your project.

Especially in the IT field, where technologies and applications change so rapidly, it can be difficult—and expensive—to always have the right people on hand. And when you have a temporary need, it makes sense to hire temporary employees. With nearly 20 years in the business of matching top IT candidates with great clients and challenging jobs, Triumph knows how to find highly qualified candidates.
