Temporary Staffing
When workloads rise, an employee goes on leave or a project needs extra hands, temporary staffing gives you capacity without a permanent hiring decision. We agree the assignment details with you, find suitable workers, and stay in touch throughout the assignment.
When temporary staffing is the right fit
- Parental, medical or other leave coverage
- Seasonal or cyclical demand
- Short-term projects, system go-lives or inventory periods
- Testing a new role before committing to a permanent hire
Who it's for: Employers that need extra people for a defined period without adding permanent headcount.
Business benefits
- Flexible support for short-term or fluctuating demand
- Screened workers matched to the assignment
- Clear terms for assignment length, rates and hours
- An option to discuss permanent hire where both parties agree

We check in with you and the worker to deal with questions early and adjust the arrangement if your needs change.
What we'll need from you
- Assignment details, including duties, schedule and duration

- A contact person on site
- A signed staffing agreement
We don't guarantee hiring outcomes or timelines, because these depend on the role, the market and your selection decisions. We will give you a realistic plan and regular updates.
Common questions
Who employs the temporary worker?
In a typical temporary staffing arrangement, the staffing company employs the worker and assigns them to your workplace. The exact responsibilities of each party are set out in the staffing agreement and depend on the province and the assignment.
Can a temporary worker become a permanent employee?
In many cases, yes. The terms that apply if you hire a temporary worker permanently are set out in the staffing agreement and must comply with provincial employment standards.
How quickly can a temporary worker start?
It depends on the skills required, the location and how many workers are available. We'll give you a realistic estimate once we understand the assignment.
