Temporary Staffing: How to Make a Staffing Agency Work for You   

Whether you have a temporary need or prefer to try before you hire, you want reliable, qualified talent.  You want the process to be easy and cost effective.  You don't want to waste time with staff who are not ideal for your situation.

Temporary staffing firms provided about 2.4 million jobs in 2004. Temporary jobs can provide a gateway to the workforce for people, help people with skills gain experience, and free up key staff so they can spend time growing the business. They also provide a bridge to full-time employment for many workers. Employers look to temporary help to keep fully staffed during busy seasons, to fill temporary vacancies, or to staff short-term projects. Many are looking for a good source for permanent employees that they can “try out” before hiring.

Temporary employment is exactly “what the doctor ordered” for many workers who need a stepping stone to a career. And for employers of all sizes, Goodwill temporary staffing services can offer healthy business staffing solutions.

The talent shortage is becoming a reality for an increasing number of employers around the world. Forty percent of employers worldwide are struggling to find talented job candidates. In 23 countries, employers report it’s especially difficult to find candidates who are: Sales Representatives, Engineers, Technicians, Production Operators, Skilled Manual Trade Laborers, IT Staff, Administrative Assistants, Drivers, Accountants, and Managers. Contact your local Goodwill for help with your talent shortage.



Matching employers with motivated job candidates has been at the core of Goodwill’s mission for more than a century. As a New York Goodwill executive puts it, “We not only know how to put people to work, but we have a ready supply of folks who want to go to work.”

Because Goodwill staffing agencies are people-oriented and not profit driven, creating a good match between the employer and the employee is the first priority. Goodwills want to ensure that the employee finds success on the job, and that the employer gets a worker who is appropriate for the position.
