What is interim or temporary staff?

Interim or temporary staff are individuals hired for a limited period to support your team during times of increased workload, staff absences, or short-term projects. These workers are not permanent employees and are usually brought in through staffing agencies or short-term contracts.

Why should I consider hiring temporary staff?

You should consider hiring temporary staff when your team is short-handed or facing a spike in demand. This could be due to seasonal business cycles, employee leave, or a new project that requires extra help. Temporary staff are also useful when you want to test a role or a candidate before making a permanent hire.

What are the benefits of hiring temporary staff?

Temporary staff offer flexibility and speed. They can be brought in quickly and help maintain productivity without the long-term commitment of a permanent hire. Many are experienced in adapting to new environments and can start contributing with minimal training.

How long do temporary assignments usually last?

The length of a temporary assignment can vary. Some last just a few days, while others may continue for several months, depending on your needs. The duration is usually agreed upon in advance but can often be extended if necessary.

What types of roles are typically filled b temporary staff?

Temporary staff are commonly hired for roles such as legal assistants, project accountants, data entry clerks, and legal support. These are roles that require reliability, basic training, and the ability to learn quickly.

How do I find the right temporary staff?


Most companies work with staffing agencies that specialize in temporary placements. These agencies handle the recruitment, screening, and payroll. You can also use online job platforms or local job boards to find candidates directly, depending on your hiring process.

What should I look for in a temporary hire?

Look for someone who is dependable, adaptable, and has relevant experience. Since training time is often limited, it helps if the person has done similar work before. Good communication skills and a positive attitude are also important, especially in customer-facing roles.

How are temporary staff paid?

Temporary staff are usually paid hourly. If you hire through SR Staffing, we handle their pay and charge you a fee on top of the worker’s wage. If you hire directly, you will manage their pay as you would with any short-term employee or contractor.

Do temporary staff need onboarding?

Yes, even though they are only with you for a short time, they still need a basic introduction to your workplace. This includes safety procedures, job expectations, and any tools or systems they will be using. A short, focused onboarding helps them get up to speed quickly.

What if I want to make a temporary worker permanent?

If your temporary worker is interested in staying on permanently, the process is usually quite straightforward. You’ll need to issue them a new employment contract for the permanent role and be ready to discuss things like salary, benefits, and notice periods. If they didn’t go through a full induction when they first joined, now’s a good time to bring them into your standard onboarding process. If you hired them through an agency, make sure to let the agency know you’re planning to bring them on permanently, as there may be a fee involved depending on your agreement.
