Temp & Contract work

In the current market there are more career options than ever before and flexibility is increasingly seen as a key component of any job.  Temping and contract opportunities are an attractive alternative to a traditional permanent job.  It allows employers flexibility in managing their hiring plans and jobseekers can manage their career in a way that is most suited to their individual needs.

Morgan McKinley are experts in the temp and contract job market and know that there are several different ways of defining what exactly temping or contract working means.  It can be referred to as freelancing, interim, temporary, contract or consulting. No matter how it is referred to, they all essentially mean a similar thing – a professional who typically works on-site at an employer’s office on a temporary basis and is paid on an hourly, daily or annualised pro rata basis.  Payments are usually made directly through the Morgan McKinley payroll.

Is Temp and Contract working right for you?

For jobseekers, whether it is purely a lifestyle decision or an opportunity to broaden your skills, you can choose to work in a temp or interim position for many reasons.  These opportunities have many benefits, including:

• It's a great way to learn new skills or work in a different function or industry.
• Greater exposure to different types of management styles.
• You may be relatively higher paid per hour for interim work in comparison to a similar permanent role.

For clients, there are many reasons why recruiting employees on a temporary or contract basis could be the most appropriate option, including:

• As a ‘working interview' to assess a potential employee prior to offering a permanent position.
• Assistance with special projects or when particular skills are required.
• Cover for maternity leave or other absences.
• During particularly busy periods.
