Many temps are skilled workers who have left permanent employment in search of a more flexible career. So, if you already have the skills and expertise that are needed in-house from your permanent employees but have recognised the need for an occasional niche skill set, you might consider bringing someone in on a temporary basis. There are different types of temps, ranging from contract and freelance to interim, so whatever your needs are, chances are, there’s someone out there who’ll fit the bill. Some of the main advantages of temporary employees are:
If you have regular employee absences, need to cover maternity leave, or have seasonal demands, hiring temp staff eliminates the need to appoint a permanent resource that isn’t required year-round.

Do you remember that new colleague say, “Well, at my last job we did …”? New people simply bring new ideas to your organization and that experience could mean success for your next project.
Many temporary professionals are experts in their industry and should be adaptable.

If a member of staff has departed suddenly, or you simply haven’t had enough time to find a replacement, hiring a temp can make this transition easier, and there’ll be no loss of productivity.
You might decide that the person you’ve hired on a temporary basis adds value to your organisation and hire them permanently. You’ll already have seen how well they work in your team so should be in a good place to make an offer. Remember though, some people choose to be temps for a reason and they may turn your offer down.
For those that do want permanent work, they will be very willing to work hard and prove themselves an asset, in the hope that you hire them.
