Demand for temporary workers : Think outside the box


According to a recent CareerBuilder survey, the demand for temporary staff rose from 28% in 2009 to 36% in 2012. The need for flexible staff will only increase and industries which have always relied on temporary workers, such as the events and catering, must now compete with business sectors that historically have not tapped into temporary resources.
Beyond the rising demand for temporary employees, companies are also dealing with a skills gap issue across the board. 12 million Americans are still out of work and hiring managers are reviewing resumes and speaking with individuals who do not have the skills to succeed in their business. For example, manufacturing is becoming an industry of technology not just labor and many workers with previous experience in industrial settings don’t have the training to keep up with advances in the field.

Staffing companies are in a unique position in today’s workplace as their very product is qualified and vetted employees. In order to answer the demands of their clients they need to have an existing pool of candidates available for any potential upcoming needs. This often means that many exceptional employees are not able to be placed on assignments as the needs of the clients don’t match the qualifications of the employee. Staff is an art reliant on timing. A temporary staffing service doesn’t earn money on a candidate who never goes to work and it is not to their advantage to actively keep someone from working an assignment.

Some candidates prefer to wait for a long term or permanent position to become available before accepting an assignment, however often times short term projects become larger, long term assignments and can even lead to a permanent hire.

What if there was a way to market your "hot and ready" talent for short term tasks, cost effectively and efficiently?
