Do Temporary Workers Get Benefits?

Posted

Working with a staffing agency provides several benefits beyond merely helping candidates find a job. They can provide employment benefits, such as healthcare, 401k plans, group insurance, and vacation or sick leave. But most importantly, they can help you build your career up to new heights. Here are five key benefits of working with a staffing agency that you should definitely consider as you look for your next big opportunity.   

  1. Bonuses 

One of the great benefits of working with All-Star Staffing is the generous bonus incentives, including holiday bonuses, vacation pay bonuses, and referral bonuses. Work 3600 hours within a continuous 24-month period and get a Holiday Bonus of $75 on four major holidays throughout the calendar year. Work a minimum of 3600 hours within a continuous 24-month period and get a Vacation Pay Bonus of $300 upon request (once per year). All-Star Team members may be eligible for a $35.00 Referral Bonus when you refer a new employee to All-Star Personnel. The employee referred must be someone who has never applied or worked for any All-Star location. See your local All-Star branch for additional details.  

  1. Job Matching 

Staffing firms are constantly receiving requests from companies who need help finding the right person for a new opportunity. It’s in their interest to find high-quality candidates to fill those roles quickly. This is true to the point that recruiters are actively looking for good workers within an industry even before the right opportunity comes along. The ability to match top industry talent with great job opportunities makes staffing firms able to meet the needs of their clients and their candidates so well. That gives you the chance to find your next role before it hits the job boards.   

  1. Candidate Loyalty 

Another great thing about working with a staffing firm is that you can earn their loyalty by doing a good job. If you work on a contract and show yourself to be a committed and capable employee, the staffing agency will work hard to continue to employ you with the same company or with another company quickly at the end of your contract. They do this to keep you on their payroll, but it also benefits you as a job seeker. It means less down-time between gigs and the dedicated support that can mean the difference in your job search.   

  1. Industry Knowledge 

If you are looking to move into a market you are not particularly familiar with, recruiters are your greatest resource. Their industry knowledge is a critical resource. Staffing firms know all about the job market, and if you are working with a specialized staffing agency, they know what companies are hiring for your niche position. Recruiters can also help you better understand the value of your skills, the going rate for positions, and whether an offer is reasonable or not. If you lack that industry knowledge, you could end up regretting your decision to settle with one company rather than another.     

  1. Instant Network 

A robust professional network is essential to quickly discovering and landing new jobs. If your network is lacking when you begin your job search, you’ll find yourself inevitably fighting an uphill battle. Recruiters are known for their excellent connections with hiring managers and employers who are looking for candidates. After years of working with a wide variety of employers, your recruiter knows who’s hiring, what they’re looking for, and what’s coming down the pipe. That network is a huge bonus when you start working with a recruiter because you know that you’ll be connected with the right companies at the right time.
