FAQ's

  • Flexibility: Partnering with a temporary staffing agency allows businesses to scale their workforce according to fluctuations in demand, providing a solution particularly suited to seasonal operations or those with unpredictable workloads.
  • Specialised skills: Temp staff placements often bring specific skills or experience, allowing businesses to leverage talent they may not have internally. This can be particularly useful for short-term projects or busy periods.
  • Cost-effectiveness: In comparison to permanent staffing, this strategy frees businesses from the responsibility of supplying full benefits. Addtionally, temporary staff can be compensated solely for the hours they work, mitigating expenses during idle periods.
  • Assessment opportunity: Provides candidates an opportunity to showcase their skills before potentially transitioning into a permanent position.

The average rate for contractors varies widely depending on factors such as industry, location, skill level, and demand.  We conduct market research and consider these variables when determining the appropriate rate for hiring contractors in your specific context.
