What is the difference between temporary and permanent recruitment?
Temporary staffing generally refers to temporary assistance that may be required by a company for a variety of reasons including:
- Special projects
- Parental leaves
- Peak work periods
- Sudden position vacancies
- Vacation coverage
- Employee leaves of absence
Temporary staffing allows an employer to meet their immediate staffing needs quickly and flexibly. Additionally, employers may want to consider candidates as potential permanent employees by hiring them on contract first.
In contrast, permanent recruitment refers to a more in-depth search process for a candidate who will be hired directly by the employer on a permanent basis.
What are the benefits of temporary vs permanent employment?
While many job seekers are looking for the stability that comes with permanent employment, contract employment offers several advantages as well.
- Contract assignments are a great way to expand on your software and industry experience, as well as broaden your professional contacts.
- The hiring process is much quicker.
- Some candidates prefer the flexibility and variety provided by contract employment.
- Should there be potential for permanent, it can be an opportunity to test-drive a company, to see whether it makes sense to accept permanent employment should the company make an offer.
- In approximately 25% of our assignments, the contract employee is hired permanently by the company.
I am currently working and my employer is not aware of my job search. How will you ensure confidentiality?
We will not present your resume or discuss your career goals with any potential employer without your prior approval. The entire placement process has been designed with a view towards protecting the confidentiality of job candidates. You can depend on our integrity to help maintain yours.
Once I am registered with Administrative Staffing, how long will it take to be placed?
While we place significant emphasis on a candidate’s skills and experience, our primary focus is on “fit” – finding the candidate that fits not only the role, but the company as well.
When an employer calls us with a staffing requirement, we place all our efforts towards finding candidates that will be a great fit for the role and company. Whether it is a one week assignment or a permanent role, we strive to facilitate situations where the candidate and the employer are both happy.
Consequently, we may have the ideal opportunity for you immediately, or it may be some time before the position that’s just right for you becomes available. If any of your file details change after your registration, we encourage you to update us whenever possible.
Will it cost me anything to register with Administrative Staffing?
No. All of our fees are paid for by the employer. There is no charge to candidates.
What sets Administrative Staffing apart from other recruitment firms?
First and foremost, we are a specialist firm. Businesses know what we do. Candidates know what we do. By focusing on our area of expertise, we are able to give you access to some of the best administrative positions in the marketplace.
Secondly, we are committed to a personal approach. We use sophisticated technology to track and match candidates to opportunities. However, we believe technology can only go so far. We listen. We get to know our candidates and clients well beyond job descriptions and resumes. We will pay close attention to your personal and professional aspirations and refer you to positions that are suitable should they become available.
Meeting With Us
If your experience and background is a good match for the types of positions we are currently recruiting for, we will contact you to come in and meet with one of our consultants.
Our meetings are designed to gain insight into your personal and professional aspirations. Where have you been and where do you want to go? What sort of working style do you prefer? Are you interested in large companies with a lot of opportunity for advancement or do you work best in an entrepreneurial environment that allows you to influence operational decisions? Do you thrive on details or prefer to focus on the big picture?
We will assess your skill level using electronic tests that take approximately 30 minutes. We will also gather important administrative information—references, software experience, salary expectations and the like. We want to be sure we have everything we need to help you put your strengths to work in the advancement of your career.
Based upon the information we have gathered, if a position becomes available where your experience and goals match the specific details requested by the employer, we will contact you to see if the position may be of interest.
If you have any questions about registering with us or want to find out more about administrative opportunities or careers, please contact one of our local offices.
