A temporary agency may be distinct from a recruitment firm, which seeks to place permanent employees, but there is often a large overlap: a permanent employee may start out as a "try-before-you-buy" trial temporary worker. Many temporary agencies specialize in a particular profession or field of business, such as general industrial labor, accounting, health care, technical or secretarial. Some even "specialize" in odd-jobs. Because of the added level of communication between the employer (work site) and the temporary agency and then finally to the agency's employee these short-term roles can be miscommunicated and canceled on a whim. The employer (work site) is paying for a service and can decide to stop that service (labor/skills) at any time. * Easy hire: Those meeting technical requirements for the type of work are often virtually guaranteed a job without a selection process. * Flexible hours; a choice of which shifts to work; the ability to take off for weekends, holidays, vacations, personal appointments, or for any other reason of choice, or to work on such days for additional pay * Pay rates are sometimes higher than the customary wages in a comparable permanent position. * The likelihood of getting fired is lower than in a permanent position, though a client of the agency can make a request for the temporary worker not to return, even for a minor infraction. Drawbacks to temp agencies are as follows: * Many temp agencies do not offer any type of benefits, such as health insurance. Benefits package is usually 30 to 40 percent of a permanent employee's base income. * Temp to hire positions have been known to have high turn over rates. In some temp agencies, workers are considered self-employed independent contractors, who have a status similar to those running their own businesses. * Reduced liability protection: With independent contractor status, contractors are required to carry liability insurance or else can be held accountable in a negligence lawsuit when an error results in damage. This practice is highly suspect and is likely evidence of a scam. * Lack of reference: Many employers of experienced job positions do not consider work done for a temporary agency as sufficient on a resume. Local Employment/Temporary Agencies
A temporary agency may have a standard set of tests to judge the competence of the secretarial or clerical skills of an applicant. An applicant is hired based on their scores on these tests, and is placed into a database. Companies or individuals looking to hire someone temporarily contact the agency and describe the skill set they are seeking. A temporary employee is then found in the database and is contacted to see if they would be interested in taking the assignment. When a temporary employee agrees to an assignment, they receive instructions pertaining to the job. Information is provided on correct work attire, work hours, wages, and who to report to. If a temporary employee arrives at a job assignment and is asked to perform duties not described when they accepted the job, they may call an agency representative for clarification. If they choose not to continue on the assignment based on these discrepancies, they will most likely lose pay and may undermine chances at other job opportunities. However, some agencies guarantee an employee a certain number of hours pay if, once the temporary employee arrives, there is no work or the work isn't as described. Most agencies do not require an employee to continue work if the discrepancies are enough to make it difficult for the employee to actually do the work.
