What if we told you there was an easy way for your Houston company to save money, reduce liability, and enhance productivity? Your initial reaction might be something like, “that sounds too good to be true.” But really it’s not. Through the use of temporary staffing, you can increase flexibility, while lowering your overall operating costs. Here’s how:

#1: With temporary staffing, your fixed expenses can become variable.

Instead of hiring a full time employee, a temporary worker can supplement your core staff during a seasonal peak or busy time period.

#2: With temporary staffing, you can bring in expertise when you need it.

A temporary employee can provide you with a very specific skill set that you may only need for a certain project.

#3: With temporary staffing, you can reduce benefit costs.

Legally, temporary employees work for the staffing firm, not for your company. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about offering benefits, like health insurance or paid time off.

#4: With temporary staffing, you can lower overtime costs.

When you have an abundance of work that needs to get done, rather than having your full-time staff work overtime, hire temporary employees for a limited amount of time.

#5: With temporary staffing, you can reduce training costs.

Hire temporary staff that already has the skills and experience you need, so you don’t have to train them.

#6: With temporary staffing, you can find qualified people faster.

By working with a temporary staffing agency, you can eliminate the time and cost associated with advertising, screening, interviewing, and testing candidates.

#7: With temporary staffing, you can reduce unemployment claims.

Again, since temporary employees work for the staffing agency, not for your company, you don’t have to worry about an unemployment claim. All claims impact the staffing agency’s unemployment rating, not yours.
