Temporary employment: a flexible path to work
Are you looking for a job but for the moment, you do not plan to commit to a long-term position? Or would you like to try a new work environment, gain experience, and still have a steady income? Temporary employment might be the right choice for you.
What is temporary employment?
Temporary employment (also known as temporary assignment) is a form of employment where you perform work for a specific company, but your official employer is a staffing agency. The company where you work hires you for a specific project or period; you use its work tools, premises, and company benefits, but all administration, payroll, and communication with authorities is handled by the agency.
