How Temporary Staffing Work

Our approach to making temporary, high-impact hires

Initial Consultation – A temp staffing expert meets with you to understand your hiring needs, including timelines, required skills, work environment, and assignment length. This free consultation ensures we’re aligned and helps us find the temp talent you need. 

Role & Success Profile – Instead of relying solely on a job description, we develop a clear success profile that defines the skills, certifications, availability, and on-the-job attributes required for someone to excel in your temporary role.

Flexible, Low-Risk Engagement – There’s no upfront cost to get started. You only pay once a temporary placement is made, giving you a low-risk way to evaluate whether partnering with a staffing agency is right for you.

Candidate Sourcing & Screening – We promote your temporary role across multiple channels and our proprietary job board and 1M+ candidate network while handling all sourcing, screening, and vetting. 

Placement & Assignment Management – After presenting top candidates, we coordinate interviews, manage onboarding and payroll, and stay engaged throughout the assignment.

Temporary Staffing FAQ

What is temporary staffing?

Temp staffing is the process of hiring employees for part time or short-term positions within an organization. This is typically project based or for a specific period of time, and lasts anywhere from a few months to a year or more.

When you work with a staffing agency to fill a temporary position, they will assess your needs, source and screen candidates, schedule interviews, and provide assistance through the process from the initial consultation until a placement is made.

We can also help with onboarding, payroll, scheduling, training, and more.

Why use a temp staffing agency?

Temp staffing offers many benefits to businesses and professionals.

For companies, temp staffing provides access to specialized talent to fill roles, recruiters who are familiar with their industry, and a partner to manage the recruiting process to make it fast and effective. This includes marketing the job to our industry network, talent acquisition and screening, scheduling interviews, and job placement..

For applicants, temporary staffing agencies give opportunities for career advancement, a partner who will reach out with new opportunities in the future that match their experience and career goals, and a resource to help them through the interview process.

How quickly can you fill an open temp role?

Hunter Recruiting’s average time to fill a temporary position is 5 days, but the actual time to fill depends on your recruiting needs, screening requirements, and timeliness of client interviews.

Time to fill spans from the start of the search until an accepted offer from the candidate.

Do I need to pay for my initial temp staffing consultation?

No, our initial temp staffing consultation is free and you don’t pay until a recruitment service agreement is reached.

How much does temp staffing cost?

Staffing agencies use a simple formula for temporary workers. They take the worker’s hourly wage and add their markup on top. This markup covers their costs and profit. Learn more about How Much Staffing Agencies Charge for Temporary Staffing. 

Can you assist us with onboarding temporary talent?

Yes! We can help you with onboarding including administrative duties like payroll, scheduling, and training.

Do you manage temp-to-hire contracts?

Yes, we can manage your temp-to-hire staffing needs with sourcing, candidate selection, onboarding, training, payroll, administrative assistance, and more.

Would I benefit from a Managed Service Provider?

If you need to hire for many jobs and want to simplify the process, MSP services would be beneficial. Our MSP services provide scalable recruiting services for temporary workers while streamlining the process and containing costs.

We accomplish this through our recruitment software, proprietary job board, and a team of experienced professionals to help with recruiting and any other service you are looking for, including onboarding, payroll, HR compliance, and billing.

Do I need staffing services or RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing)?

This depends on your company’s recruitment needs.

Staffing services are best if you are looking to fill a specialized or temporary role by working with a recruitment agency who has experience with qualified candidates in your industry to make a timely and accurate placement.

RPO is best for companies looking to outsource the entire recruiting process to a third-party partner who will deliver staffing services on an ongoing basis. Recruitment process outsourcing is a popular option with businesses with high-volume hiring and ongoing recruitment needs. Some companies utilize RPO for a business segment or seasonality, while others utilize RPO services to outsource talent acquisition year-round.
