CHICAGO, Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- More than a third (35 percent) of American companies are operating with smaller staffs than before the recession. To keep pace with market demand, many are turning to staffing and recruiting companies and temporary workers. Thirty-six percent of companies will hire contract or temporary workers in 2012. This is up from 34 percent for 2011, 30 percent for 2010, and 28 percent for 2009. Of the companies hiring temporary or contract workers this year, 35 percent have plans to hire them on a permanent basis. The survey, which was conducted by Harris Interactive from November 9 to December 5, 2011, included more than 3,000 hiring managers and human resource professionals across industries and company sizes.
As the economy slowly recovers, companies have increased their hiring of temporary workers, which many believe to be a sign of permanent job growth. According to a recent report by the American Staffing Association, during the first quarter of 2010, U.S. staffing companies employed an average of 2 million temporary and contract workers per day. This represents an increase of 0.8 percent over the same quarter last year, the first improvement after nine consecutive quarters of year-over-year declines. The first quarter of 2009, for instance, was down 27.9 percent versus the same period in 2008.
Behind every great company are some pretty talented people. Finding those talented people takes time and toil, which is why businesses commonly turn to staffing firms to fill some of their employment needs. According to the American Staffing Association, staffing firms employ an average of 2.9 million temporary or contract workers a day nationwide. Staffing companies can help you staff your business in three ways - temporary, temp-to-perm or permanent - and can find good people at every level, from the mailroom to the boardroom.
This rule establishes an industry-funded promotion, research, and information program for fresh cut Christmas trees. The (Order) is authorized under the Commodity Promotion, Research, and Information Act of 1996 (1996 Act).

Lilla Horvath, a recruiter who specializes in helping technology companies land talent, found a position at a San Francisco firm doing exactly what she wanted -- but as a temp hired through the Philadelphia-based staffing firm Yoh Services. She works alongside permanent employees in her new office, but, as a Yoh temp, she doesn't get access to company health care coverage and other benefits. Horvath's situation reflects the booming growth in demand for contingent workers, even as permanent hiring remains sluggish. Positions that might have been reserved for permanent workers in a more robust economy now often go to temps or contract workers. While that trend may portend a slow overall business recovery, contingent staffing firms are bouncing back from the recession quite smartly. How lo...
The time has come, it seems, for software to manage temps and other contingent workers. As companies ramp up their use of staffing agency labor during the economic recovery and seek a better handle on their total workforce spending, they also are turning to software products called vendor management systems. Vendor management systems have been around since at least the 1990s. The systems now can help manage independent contractors and workers associated with "statement of work" deals. The latter refers to employees at outsourcing firms such as IT services providers or accounting firms. Vendor management systems often are used in conjunction with "managed service providers." Companies employing managed service providers are more likely to have standardized contract labor management proce...

When Robert Waller advertised for a temporary position in the medical field, he received more requests than his staffing agency, Walker Personnel Service in Ridgewood, could handle. It usually takes his office two days to go through all of the resumes after placing an ad. You'd be surprised how many single heads of families or moms we get begging us to find a job," Waller said. He said his employers also serve as "mini-psychologists" by comforting job seekers coming through the doors of his office. "We have to tell these people no, some begging and crying. It's emotionally difficult," he said.
