What We Understand About temporary or contract Staff
Temp or contract roles may be short term, but ideally they still need to help build or utilise skills that high value candidates have to offer. Quality temp or contract employees want to make a difference.
Common Misconceptions About Contract Recruitment Agencies
Whether you need extra hands during a busy period of the year or one of your valued support staff members is going on maternity leave, when the need for a temporary contract arises, you’ll likely need someone in the job ASAP. The logical thing to do would be to contact a talent recruitment agency in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane to find someone to fill your temporary contract quickly and efficiently. However, there are quite a few misconceptions about contract recruitment agencies, so the team at MJD Recruitment is here to dispel some myths.
What’s The Difference Between A Temp Worker And A Contract Worker?
While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, a temp worker and a contract worker aren’t the same things.
Temporary staff recruitment.
A temp role covers the position of an employee who is sick or on leave. Temporary positions typically have a loose end date and can last anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. Temporary staff are usually paid hourly rather than pro-rata.
Contract staff recruitment.
Contract roles are typically a little longer, and they have more defined terms and lengths, such as pay and hours. The contract stipulates a precise end date and has a set salary to be paid pro-rata. Contract staff may also be entitled to sick pay and other benefits.
Some Common Myths And Misconceptions About Contract Recruitment Agencies
The MJD Recruitment team is here to dispel some common myths and misconceptions around working with contract recruitment agencies.
MYTH: These agencies can only fill entry-level positions.
That’s not at all the case. At MJD Recruitment, we pride ourselves on our network of highly qualified candidates, each with varied expertise and experience. We have people ready to fill entry-level administrative positions, but we also have candidates qualified to fill roles like paralegals and executive assistants.
MYTH: Only inexperienced people work with recruiters.
We understand where this myth comes from; why would brilliant candidates need to work with recruiters? Wouldn’t they be highly sought after already? Many highly qualified candidates like keeping their job search discreet, so they come to recruiters for support in sourcing interviews.
MYTH: Recruiting agencies will just put anyone into the role.
While some agencies are worried about filling quotas, that’s not how we operate at MJD Recruitment. Instead, we aim to find solutions that work for our candidates and business partners, so we work hard to find the perfect person for each role.
MYTH: Recruitment agencies only fill job vacancies.
MJD Recruitment are passionate about connecting candidates with businesses looking to hire, but our work doesn’t stop there. We also help businesses develop better internal recruitment processes, source appropriate HR resources, write job advertisements, breaking down the recruitment process, and deciding between 2 strong candidates.
- Provide comprehensive onboarding training. Some roles don’t need much training, and temp or contract workers can hit the ground running. However, if the position requires certain procedures, skills, or software, make sure you go through everything during their first few days.
- Place them with supervisors who know the role. The last thing you’ll want to do is throw your temporary staff into the deep end with no support. You’ll get the best from your short-term employee if they have someone to turn to.
- Build positive relationships. If you have an excellent temporary staff member, you may want to offer them a permanent position at some point in the future. You need to value this team member just as much as you would a permanent employee and build positive relationships so they’ll want to stick around.
- Show gratitude. Although a temporary or contract employee understands that their tenure will be short, they are still filling an important role and deserve recognition. Whether you provide consistent feedback throughout their time with the business or provide a small thank you gift when they finish, make sure you show your appreciation.
