Temp & Contract work

Temping and interim opportunities are an attractive alternative to a traditional permanent position and allow you to progress your career in a way that is most suited to you. Temp work is a period of non-fixed term employment and positions can last different lengths of time, from one day's work to several months’. It is a popular practice in many countries, including Ireland. Contract work is a similar alternative to permanent employment, but positions are typically undertaken as a fixed-term contract and with specific skills in mind.

Why temping?

Temporary and contract work is a positive option for many individuals at certain points in their career, such as:

• When you want to change career path, industry or company. Temping can help you gain experience in a new role or sector
• If you have experienced a career break such as when travelling
• If you want to work in the holidays while studying
• If you want to learn new skills or meet new people to expand your networking opportunities
• If you want the flexibility of temporary work to suit your personal life

Temporary employment can often provide you with a professional edge and a wide range of skill sets only possible to achieve in the varied world of temping.
 

Why companies hire temporary staff

It is also of benefit to companies and organisations as:

• Fixed period access to skills as and when required
• Cover for maternity leave or absences
• Additional cover for particularly busy periods of business
• The opportunity to gauge a candidate's potential suitability for a permanent position
