We offer temporary work as a versatile and opportunity-rich working model. As a springboard for careers, we have already been able to successfully support numerous temporary workers from various industries and sectors on their way.
Temporary work, also known as agency work, is an employment model in which employees are employed by a temporary employment agency but are assigned to other companies. This system offers flexibility, but also presents challenges for all involved.
This form of employment offers some interesting advantages:
- Flexibility
- Opportunities to join exciting companies
- Prospect of an attractive income
- High chances of being taken on
- Security through social insurance
“For many people, changing jobs is an advantage because they want to gain new experience. Temporary work offers career starters and graduates in particular the opportunity to gain a wide range of practical experience and expand their own skills profile,” says Melanie Mager Kornisch (COO, AlphaConsult Group).
Challenges and opportunities
Temporary work can be the best way to quickly fill temporary vacancies for skilled workers. From an employer’s point of view, after weighing up the pros and cons, there is usually a lot to be said for this instrument in most sectors.In our view, temporary work primarily offers flexibility. If staff are absent at short notice, whether due to illness or dismissal, temporary workers can quickly step in. In addition, the use of temporary staff relieves the burden on permanent staff, which in turn helps to strengthen employee loyalty. While some employees see the changing jobs as a great advantage, as they can gain new experience and insights into a wide variety of companies, this aspect represents a challenge for others. The flexibility of a temporary employment model requires a high degree of willingness to learn and adaptability.
Temporary work as an entry-level opportunity
Temporary work makes the costs for skilled workers more calculable and can be used to recruit employees cost-effectively in the long term. Entrepreneurs should not regard temporary work as a quasi risk-free and non-binding extended trial period to find out who is worth his or her salary and fits the company.
At the AlphaConsult Group, we see temporary work as an opportunity for the following groups in particular:
- People without completed vocational training
- Immigrants as an opportunity to enter the job market
- Career starters and university graduates who want to get to know different areas
- Specialists who want to be employed on a project basis
We not only offer fair wages and employment contracts with bonuses and social benefits, but also personal support and the opportunity to use temporary work as a springboard for your career.
