Temp

Being a temp in today's buoyant employment market can be a challenging and lucratively rewarding way to work. Many businesses have changed their attitudes to temp staff and now view them as a valuable asset to their permanent workforce and it is not unusual for a temp to be invited on company fun days and socials to help integrate them into the team.

The role of the temp has undergone a revolution mainly as a result of changing legislation, with improved maternity provision meaning more women are taking a year off, there is a whole new market for people to work as a permanent (or career) temp.

In the current candidate short market, a skilled and experienced temp can earn more than someone in a permanent position - particularly if you are in a temp assignment that requires plenty of paid overtime because as a temp you are paid by the hour!

As a temp you will increase your skill set and broaden your long-term career horizons. Working as a temp is also an opportunity to gain experience in different industry sectors. You will also make new contacts as a temp and will expand your social circle.

Many people choose to temp as it provides great flexibility. You might be a temp in order to decide what career direction you want to take. You could be a student temp, who is working to earn in between terms. Parents often temp when their children are at school, and then take a break from temp work during term times. Whatever reason you choose to temp, flexibility is key. You can choose to temp for as long as you wish. Some temp assignments are just a few days long whilst other assignments require more of a longer-term commitment from a temp. Temp work is never guaranteed, however as the temp market is more buoyant than ever, gaining temp work has never been easier. Temp pay rates and demand for certain skills depend on where you live and your level of skills and experience. Your temp consultant will be able to give you a realistic estimate regarding your temp pay rate banding. The present shortage of candidates has seen a rise in temp rates, particularly in areas where there is an acute skills shortage and many companies are prepared to pay whatever temp rate it takes to complete a project on time. The more flexible, conscientious and reliable you can prove to be as a temp, will work wonders for the temp pay rates you can command, the regularity and quality of the temp assignments you are offered; especially if you show loyalty to the temp agency you are registered with.
