In a constantly changing world of work, flexible staffing solutions are the key to success for companies and employees alike. Two of the most common models offered by personnel service providers such as ERZA GmbH are temporary employment and permanent placement. But which solution is better suited to your needs? In this article, we present the differences and advantages of both models.

What is temporary employment?

Temporary employment – often referred to as temporary work or agency work – means thatan employeeis employed by a personnel service provider such as ERZA GmbH, but works temporarily for a client company. Theemployeeremains formally employed by the personnel service provider, while the client company benefits from the work performed.

Advantages for companies:

1. Flexibility when staff are needed: Companies can bridge short-term order peaks or staff shortages quickly and easily.
2. Cost efficiency: companies only pay for the hours actually worked. Costs for vacation, sick leave or social security contributions are covered by the personnel service provider.
3. Minimized administrative effort: Recruitment, contract design and payroll accounting are handled entirely by the personnel service provider.
4. Risk-free testing: Companies can initially test employees within the framework of temporary employment and take them on later if required.

Advantages for employees:

2. Quick career entry: Temporary employment offers a quick opportunity for career starters, career changersor those returning to the labor market to gain a foothold.

What is recruitment?

In permanent placement, the personnel service provider places specialists and managers directly in a permanent position with a client company. After a successful placement, the employment contract is concluded directly between theemployeeand the client company.

Advantages for companies:

1. Access to qualified talent: Personnel service providers have extensive networks and can quickly find suitable specialists and managers.
2. Saving time and resources: The recruitment, pre-selection and organization of interviews is handled by the personnel service provider, which significantly reduces the internal workload.
3. A perfect fit: Through careful pre-selection, the personnel service provider ensures that the applicants not only fit the company professionally, but also culturally.

Temporary employment or permanent placement – which solution is right for you?

The choice between temporary employment and permanent placement depends on the individual requirements:

• Temporary employment is particularly suitable for companies with short-term staffing requirements or uncertain order situations. Permanent placement, on the other hand, is ideal if a long-term position is required.
• Temporary employment is ideal for employees who want to gain a wide range of experience or work flexibly. Permanent placement, on the other hand, offers an excellent solution for anyone looking for a permanent position.
