“The market context for this trend is favourable from both perspectives. Employers need to boost staff numbers during peak periods, be it production, sales, transport, and also to substitute some key employees who decide to go on maternity leave. Potential employees – from students to skilled and unskilled workers, as well as a growing number of specialists – understood that this type of contract can be advantageous for them and chose to take advantage of the flexibility it offers,” said Adrian Stanciu, CEO of Smartree, provider of outsourcing payroll and personnel administration.
The temporary employment market targets the recruitment of both specialists and unskilled workers. Furthermore, the market is in full process of maturing and developing and the top ten players confirm this trend, reporting increases mainly on the segment of highly skilled employees– engineers, specialists in the IT and financial sectors, as well as professionals in the construction sector.
Stanciu said Smartree currently has some 1,500 temporary employees placed within client companies.
According to Smartree, temporary employees in middle or top management positions choose this type of job mainly because they wish to experiment work in various environments and have the possibility to work only on projects.
