Temporary Help

Every business has peak times when your staff or yourself can't handle the extra volume and give the same great service. Rather than hire permanent new people who you may have to let go later use a temp service. With a temp you only use them and pay for the days or weeks you actually need them. Plus there are no payroll taxes or benefits to worry about. If you want to replace them you just call the agency.

Select at least 3 temporary agencies and give them a list of the experience that you need and a job description. If their temps don't live up to your expectations or they don't return calls promptly quickly eliminate them from your list. They can also be used as a temp-to-perm source when you need to expand your staff with a regular employee. You will get to see how the new person performs before you make a permanent committment. More ideas in my book "The Jelly Bean Principle"
