Why Hiring a Temp Can Support Your Organisation's Success

March 11, 2025

In today’s fast-paced workplace, flexibility is key. Whether you're dealing with unexpected absences, shifting workloads, or require support whilst you hire, temporary staff can provide the flexibility and expertise you need, exactly when you need it. Here’s why a temporary hire might be best for you:


1. Ensure Continuous Staff Coverage

Sickness, annual leave, or parental leave can disrupt operations. Temporary employees step in to fill these gaps, keeping your team running smoothly without overburdening existing staff.


2. Smooth Transitions Between Hires

If an employee leaves before their replacement starts, a temp can provide essential handover support. This minimises disruption and ensures business continuity while you take the time to hire the right permanent candidate.


3. Support Restructures & Redundancies

During periods of organisational change, maintaining business operations is crucial. Temporary staff offer flexibility, allowing you to adjust resources while navigating restructures or workforce transitions.


4. Boost Project Support

Temporary employees can free up your permanent team by taking on administrative tasks or short-term projects. This allows your key staff to focus on strategic priorities without getting overwhelmed by additional workload.


5. Manage Peak Workloads Without Overloading Staff

Sudden workload increases can put pressure on your team, leading to burnout and reduced productivity. Instead of stretching your existing employees too thin, temps can step in to handle the extra work and maintain efficiency.

Temporary talent is on the rise: Here's why organisations are hiring temps in 2025

By Ella Gibbs • May 20, 2025
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. Why choose Beaumont People for your temp recruitment? At Beaumont People, we understand that speed, quality and flexibility are non-negotiable when it comes to temporary recruitment.
