What is a temporary worker?

Temporary workers, often called 'temps,' are individuals hired for a limited period to fill short-term needs within an organization. They may be employed directly by a company or through a staffing agency and typically work on projects, seasonal jobs, or to cover employee absences. Temporary positions can last from a single day to several months, depending on the employer's requirements. These roles provide flexibility for both the worker and the employer, and sometimes lead to permanent employment offers.

These qualities are crucial because temporary roles demand fast onboarding, flexibility, and the ability to contribute effectively with minimal supervision.
