The Temp Factor

Abstract

Temporary employment is on the rise. In uncertain economic times, many businesses view employing temps as a cost-effective strategy to both maximize productivity and foster flexibility. Being noticed and ultimately hired by clients in this increasingly competitive market requires staffing services and temps to perform at new levels of excellence.

Reilly has learned a thing or two about the staffing industry and the bottom line: what temporary employment success looks like to a client.

This up-to-date book is written for anyone working within the temporary employment industry, whether you are just starting out or possess years of experience. It provides readers with basic information to build upon, fresh perspectives, and better solutions to meet today’s business staffing challenges. The Temp Factor is a valuable resource for temporary employees, clients and staffing services seeking to achieve distinction and a competitive edge.
