With demand spiking due to holidays, end of the year projects, and the regular seasonal business cycle, companies are preparing for one of the busiest times of the year—the fourth quarter.
Many industries, including retail, hospitality, manufacturing, and logistics, are working hard to manage seasonal surges from October to December. To stay on top of customers’ requests, one solution is to utilize contingent workers. These are temporary employees who are hired for only a certain amount of time in specific roles to support current full-time employees.
Working with a staffing company to supplement your workforce during the busy fourth quarter comes with a variety of benefits, including:
- Reduce hiring costs
- Ability to staff quickly and fill critical needs
- Reduce employee burnout
- Ability to flex workforce in line with demand
- Access to specialized skills
- Allow employers to focus on long-term goals
While your company may be capable of posting, interviewing, and deciding which workers fulfill your requirements, partnering with the right staffing company will lighten the load. A staffing agency like Express Employment Professionals partners with local businesses to match them with the talent they need to stay productive and meet year-end goals.
With every job order, we start by learning about your workforce need—clarifying job roles, required skills, and the expected duration of employment. This helps us tailor our search and present candidates who are ready to contribute from day one.
Once we’ve identified qualified individuals, you select the talented people who best align with your team and goals. With staffing handled, you can stay focused on strategic priorities and confidently navigate the seasonal upswing.
