Hiring Short-term Staff for Temporary Offices

July 25, 2022

Hiring Short-term Staff for Temporary Offices

Office space can be costly, especially during peak busy seasons or when your team has to get through a big project. Flexible workspace shares give you the room and specificity you need to meet with clients and patients and get your projects across the finish line.

Alternatively, you may have plenty of room, but a shortage of staff. Finding temporary or permanent employees can be a big undertaking. Matchmaker4Business helps bridge that gap with staffing solutions. Our marketplace provides users with a database designed to find your ideal workspace and the staffing you need. Whether you are looking for temporary or permanent space or staffing, we’ve got you covered.

Why Might Your Business Need More Staff?

Companies hire temporary staffing during peak busy seasons, for large projects, or to quickly replace an employee that has recently left a company. Temporary employees often join a team with great enthusiasm and drive and help alleviate some unnecessary work strain. However, when you have a staff shortage and looming project goals, you don’t have time to sift through hundreds of resumes. Our database uses keywording and specialized software to help you narrow your options down.

Determine What You Need in a Short-term Employee

Temporary workers are a big trend right now. According to PeopleReady, the number of people taking on temporary jobs has risen by about 66% since the start of the pandemic and more businesses are utilizing temporary employees.

Most job seekers want to know the hourly or salary before applying for a job, so a great tip for posting a job would be coming up with a number or a range you are comfortable allocating for the job. Creating a job description clearly outlining the job and length of employment is also paramount to finding a great match.

What’s distinguishing Matchaker4Business from other staffing agencies and databases? Our competitive pricing and our specialized database are designed to sift through the candidates that don’t have the experience you need! We bring people together and help you find your perfect space or staffing match!

Decide How to Hire

You have a few ways to go when you’re hiring employees. You can have your HR department post the job on different sites to get candidates and screen those people for you or the department manager to interview. You could also go through a staffing agency for workforce staffing, but you might pay a hefty fee. Matchmaker4Business has a matchmaking database where employers can post job opportunities and search resumes of jobseekers to find a match. We aren’t a staffing agency, but a workforce intermediary to help bring people together.

Interview Candidates

You may feel like you’re in a time crunch to get employees to work, but interviewing the top candidates will give you an idea for how they’ll handle the responsibilities in the position. It may be more efficient to screen applicants by phone before having them come in for a face-to-face interview. Here are some open-ended questions you can use as a script for interviewing potential job candidates and gauging how compatible the work match would be:

  • Tell me a little about yourself. What is your background in?
  • What are some of your skillsets?
  • How would your co-workers describe you?
  • What interests you about this position?
  • What are some of your stress management coping skills?
  • What conflict resolution skills do you employ during conflict?
  • What type of environment do you work best in?

And don’t forget to give your candidates the opportunity to ask questions about the position.

Get the Employee Onboarded

Finding any employee can be a time-consuming endeavor, but if you’ve found three to four good candidates and interviewed them, you should choose the one you think can do the job most effectively. Ensure you get all applicable contracts signed and the appropriate paperwork filled out before the job starts. Give the applicant a copy of everything. Having a job contract that outlines the job requirements, the scope of the project, your business policies, and compensation creates full transparency for both parties. Include termination agreements for both sides.

Start Out Right on the First Day

While it’s tempting to want to get your new employee up to speed quickly and give them a pile of work to assess their time management and work ethic. A better first-day impression would be taking them on a tour the building and introducing them to some of the key people they will be working with. Try running through their schedule for the week. Let them acclimate to their workspace by ensuring their computer works and they have network access. Have a team lunch or ask a colleague to have lunch with them.
Make sure they know their tasks. Issue the first assignment. You can expect a lot of questions. Try focusing your training on key details and tasks to get them started. Check in with your temporary employees more often than you might with a longer-term hire. You need them to hit the ground running, while gaining confidence and motivation in what they’re doing.

Outgrowing Your Office Space?

As you bring on more staff, whether temporary or permanent, your office may feel cramped. During growth periods, office space rental whether it’s daily, weekly, or monthly, can give you added space without making a long-term commitment.
