Temporary contractors are individuals hired by companies to perform specific tasks or projects for a limited duration. Unlike permanent employees, they are typically contracted through staffing agencies or directly, and their employment ends when the assignment is complete. Temporary contractors often bring specialized skills and flexibility to organizations needing short-term support. They may not receive the same benefits as full-time employees but can gain diverse experience and networking opportunities.
