What is a Temp Agency?

Are you looking for a job? Are you mostly interested in temp jobs? If so, you should go to work for a temp agency. The video gives a great summary of how these agencies work.

This involves filling out an application, interviewing, and taking an assessment to see if you are a good fit for the roles the agency is trying to fill. Keep in mind that although the company in which you are eventually placed will determine your duties and schedule, the temp hiring agency will be the one that pays you.

Once the temp job is over, you can work with the agency to find another job. The final thing to keep in mind is that you should never pay a temp agency for their services. These agencies are paid by the companies that hire them, not their workers. If such an agency requests money, it is a scam. Now you know the most important features of this type of agency.
