Feedback from one of our consultants:
What is your feeling about how temp employment has changed over the last 6 months?
I believe there are two fundamental reasons why the temp market has shifted over the last 6 months.
1.Businesses are trying to absorb absenteeism whether it be holidays or sickness by transferring additional responsibilities to other members of the team, if someone is away for an extended period of time i.e. anything over a few weeks then clients will then assess the situation as to whether or not a temporary resource will add value to the business or whether staff just work harder and smarter.
2.Businesses currently have been running lean for a number of years throughout the global recession so there has been an increase in temporary usage, businesses are now looking at strategic requirements and are now taking on permanent staff to define and secure specific roles, with this shift in the market temporary usage decreases and permanent requirements are increasing.
