Temporary staffing is also called temp, contract, or contingent staffing. This is a workforce solution that employs workers on a temporary, short- or long-term basis, often through a staffing agency or as an independent contractor.

Whether it’s for a few days, several months, or longer, you’ll have the staff you need when you need them.
