The differences between temporary and permanent staffing

Jul 20, 2015

Depending on the needs of the clients of an employment agency, two types of services are offered: permanent recruitment or temporary staffing. We present you today the differences between these two staffing options for the employee or the company, whether it involves temporary and / or permanent staffing.

 

Temporary (or contractual) staffing option

 

Temporary and permanent staffing are essential components in meeting a company’s workforce needs. Temporary work is the process by which an employee is placed in a company by an employment agency to carry out a specific and punctual task. The mode of operation of the temporary or contractual staffing makes it possible to fill an urgent need in personnel for a specific task and limited in time. The objective of this staffing option is to allow a constant turnover of the personnel either for an increase in production, holidays (holidays, sickness, parental leave), or one-off needs. The employee’s file remains the responsibility of the agency.

Permanent staffing, on the other hand, involves the recruitment and placement of employees who will remain with the company on a long-term basis. This type of staffing aims to fill ongoing roles within the organization, ensuring stability and continuity. The recruitment process for permanent positions often involves a more thorough vetting and onboarding process, as these employees are expected to integrate fully into the company’s culture and contribute to its long-term goals. The employment agency may assist in the initial recruitment process, but the employee’s file and long-term management become the responsibility of the hiring company.

 

PRIM Logix staffing software is used to assess the company’s staffing needs and perform a process of analyzing candidates to find the ideal candidate for a replacement, whether for temporary or permanent staffing. This even in an emergency situation for a last-minute replacement. PRIM Logix distinguishes between replacement and bulk replacement. In the event that the client needs more than one person for the same type of position for several different shifts. It also creates a warrant for a job without schedule specification. In this case, it will not be a matter of daily shifts, but rather the number of hours per week.

 

Through PRIM Logix, you can also directly reach all selected candidates via email or SMS to fill your urgent positions and optimize your workflow.

 

The advantages of temporary staffing

 

Temporary staffing is an excellent solution for companies seeking to reduce expenses related to recruitment, turnover, overtime and absenteeism. This results in significant savings and reduces downtime by creating constant productivity.

 

Permanent Staffing Option

 

Whether it is for an increase in your production, an employee’s departure or succession planning, permanent recruitment can fill positions over the long term.

 

In addition, the staffing of permanent staff gives you the opportunity to find candidates who fit the culture of your business and who can contribute in their own way.

Our PRIM software makes it possible to identify the requirements of the position to be filled and the profile sought beyond their skills and qualifications. It takes into consideration factors that will contribute to the motivation, satisfaction and productivity of candidates within your company.

 

Absolutely intuitive, PRIM has a system of parameters allowing to register in a few clicks the candidates corresponding to the profiles wanted and available.

The benefits of permanent staffing

 

For the employee, a permanent job is a way to benefit from a certain stability and to promote the advancement of his career.

 

For the company, Permanent staffing of staff avoids the repetition of the recruitment process and costs related to the hiring of temporary or contractual candidates. Again, it depends on your business environment!
