The Temp Is Rising
A plan for when full-time slots disappear
Stamford recruitment consultants Taylor Grey Inc. has taken to restructuring the company, at least for now, with the view some work is better than none.
“It’s no secret to anyone that no one is hiring; people in fact are laying off,” said Jodi Fournier, president and CEO of Taylor Grey Inc. “The good news is that there are still clients hiring a little bit and are using us for temp and contract.”
According to Fournier, companies are becoming keen on the idea of temp-to-hire and Taylor Grey has shifted its focus in that direction from direct-to-hire.
Fournier said it enables companies to keep head counts slim on the books through lean times and continue to get work done.
“We can assist them by giving them a temp and we’re getting our candidates out to work and our employees out to work, so that’s the good news,” said Fournier. “In the meantime, let’s try to get these people off of unemployment and at least get them a day, a week, a month assignment.”
