We are often asked, "Just what is a temporary staffing service?" Simply put, a temporary staffing company supplies its own employees to client companies for specific assignments on a temporary basis. In other words, we help businesses handle their workloads and we help workers find temporary jobs. Some temporary staffing companies, including Adecco, offer temp-to-hire and direct hire placement services as well. What's more, we never charge job seekers a fee of any kind.

Our assignments include everything from administrative assistants and customer service representatives, financial positions such as accountants, accounts payable and receivable specialists, and collections agents to machine operators and shipping clerks, help desk representatives and all other kinds of technical, engineering and scientific positions. The choices are virtually unlimited!

There are really six key reasons people choose to work as a temporary employee...freedom, flexibility, variety, opportunity, the chance to upgrade skills and, of course, income and benefits. There are countless ways that temporary employment can help in bridging from one career to another and in finding new, full-time job opportunities.

When you think of an industry that's growing by leaps and bounds, you may think of health care or banking. It might come as a surprise that the temporary services industry is a major indicator of economic conditions and productivity in America. Nearly 90% of all businesses use temporaries. During the last year, the temporary staffing industry employed over two million temporaries daily, and more than 2% of jobs in the U.S. are temporary. In fact, Adecco found employment for more than 500,000 people last year. We'd love to help you find rewarding employment this year!
