If you’re wanting to know a bit more about labour hire solutions, or to weigh up if temporary staffing is more suitable to your business needs than permanent staffing, then read on!

What is labour hire?

Instead of directly employing staff, businesses can engage skilled or unskilled workers through a labour hire agency. The agency will onboard staff, ensure all tickets and qualifications are valid, and will manage the staff’s timesheet and pay. This is often ideal for short-term projects and long-term projects. Labour hire is also known as temporary staffing or workforce outsourcing.

Who should use labour hire?

If you’re needing staff but do not have the need for permanent staffing solutions, labour hire and temporary staffing could be the ideal solution for you. Labour hire can be ideal for those who have project-based or contract-based work, need to cover staff leave such as long service or maternity leave, need interim staffing solutions, or have an upcoming busy period/seasonal demand. Some companies also choose to hire temporary staff before bringing them onboard their books as a permanent employee.
