That was Then

That was Then
Temporary Staffing Services: Is your vision of the temp staffing service industry still “Old School”?

The Old Days
  1. Temps were used primarily as replacements for sick and vacationing clerical workers
  2. Temps were warm bodies you bought for a short amount of time
  3. The temporary workforce numbered about 800,000
  4. Temps were the folks who couldn’t get work anywhere else
The way it is now
  1. Companies now use temps in more highly-skilled positions and in more strategic ways, such as handling work overload or for strategic projects as complicated as company mergers
  2. A recent study by the National Association of Temporary and Staffing Services (NATSS) indicates 56% of temporary assignments last more than 11 weeks (11% last longer than a year)
  3. Today, the temporary workforce is made up of more than 2.4 million workers-2% of the national workforce!
  4. Temps have become a great way to find full-time employees. More than one-third of all temporary accounting assignments turn into full-time positions
