Why Hiring Temporary Staff Is the Way Forward

Businesses often have projects and deadlines that require more staff. It takes time to screen and hire new employees, and there may not be a long-term need for new hires. And yet, running your company in Sydney?with a minimal number of workers can result in reduced earrings, missed deadlines, and lost clients. You can fall behind on productivity, profitability, and progress to the point you need to boost your output immediately.

The solution is to bring in temporary workers who have the skills you need to get the job done. Here are some considerations about increasing your capabilities without raising your permanent headcount.

Become more efficient

Getting behind on a project makes catching up difficult. Recruitment and training take time that you don’t have when deadlines approach. Professional contractors can hit the ground running and help the team meet its goals.

You can also take on new projects with confidence because you know you can bring in temporary staff to take on the new workload. Contract workers bring specific expertise to a position so that you can reach peak productivity quickly.?Whether you need a Receptionist, Executive Assistant, Office Manager, HR, or a Marketing Team Assistant, all are immediately available to come in and hit the ground running. HCR interviews all candidates for temporary positions, checks references, and performs background checks. In many cases, the temporary employee has previously worked for us.

The length of assignments can be anything from one-day to cover sick leave to longer-term work for holiday cover, maternity leave, or ongoing contracts.

Lower your costs

Hiring professionals comes with no onboarding costs, no training expenses, and no permanent commitment to a salary. You can hire as you need assistance rather than offering a new employee a career.

You can cover shortages due to maternity leave, sick leave, and sabbaticals, or you can bring in temporary workers during seasonal peaks.

Keep your headcount down

Most departments have a headcount they cannot go above. But temporary staff do not add to the headcount, so you can still have team assistants without filling permanent jobs. You broaden your talent pool, access diversity, and get fresh viewpoints and insights with no recruiting.

Even if you know a permanent role will be opening up soon, you can temporarily put someone in the position to meet your needs. Hiring a temp helps take the pressure off the team—the pressure that created the need for the new position in the first place. Both candidates and clients can see if there is a good fit before committing to a permanent assignment.
