What is a permanent temporary?

'Permanent Temporary' jobs, often called 'perm-temp' positions, refer to roles where employees are hired for an indefinite period but classified as temporary staff. These positions offer ongoing work without guaranteeing long-term employment, providing flexibility for both the employer and the employee. While some perm-temp jobs can eventually lead to permanent roles, others remain temporary by nature but with no set end date. This arrangement is common in industries that experience fluctuating workloads or need specialized skills on an ongoing basis.
