In today’s unpredictable business landscape, flexibility has become an essential part of an organisation’s resourcing strategy. Across Australia, many organisations are rethinking how they resource their teams, with a clear trend emerging: temporary recruitment is no longer a reactive measure. It’s a strategic move. Insight from JobAdder showed a significant increase in temporary and contract roles across Australia in early 2025, with temporary placements rising 13% and contract roles up 10% year-on-year ( HR Leader, 2025 ). This growth highlights how employers are embracing more agile staffing models to keep pace with rapid change. While temporary hiring might once have been associated with lower skilled roles, that is no longer the case. Increasingly, businesses are using temp staff to fill highly skilled, specialist roles across finance, marketing, HR, projects and executive support. Why are organisations hiring temporary talent in 2025? We asked our dedicated team of temporary consultants what is driving demand. These were the top five reasons our clients have hired temporary roles over the past six months: Business continuity during leave Whether it is extended leave or unexpected absences, organisations are proactively using temps to maintain business continuity. This approach ensures consistent productivity and prevents burnout among current teams. Scalable support for projects and peak periods Leadership development is always a valuable investment for all parties. It shows a commitment to the growth of your team and helps shape the leaders you’ll need tomorrow. Bridging the gap during permanent recruitment Hiring the right permanent talent can take time. A temporary hire can fill the gap and keep things moving. Many of our clients also use this period to assess cultural and role fit, often transitioning temporary staff into permanent roles. Targeted resourcing for seasonal demands Periods like end of financial year and audits can require additional, urgent support. Temporary talent with relevant experience can step in and deliver from day one, ensuring critical deadlines are met without disrupting core operations. On-demand access to specialist expertise Today’s temporary workforce includes highly skilled professionals across core disciplines. Whether it’s systems implementation, compliance or transformation, temps bring specialist capabilities exactly when they’re needed. What are the top benefits of hiring a temp? If your organisation is navigating change, resourcing challenges, or project peaks, hiring temporary talent offers clear advantages: Speed to hire and flexibility - Temps can be placed quickly, often within days, giving you flexibility without long-term commitments. Cost effective - With no additional headcount or long term costs, temps provide a cost efficient way to manage workload and deliver projects. Access to specialist skills - From project management to systems implementation, temporary talent can bring key expertise with minimal onboarding. Explore the fit first - Temporary-to-permanent arrangements give you the chance to assess fit, capability and culture alignment before offering a permanent role. Increased productivity - Temps keep things moving during busy periods, avoiding the productivity dips that can occur when teams are stretched or under resourced.
