As these are two of the most common hiring methods used by companies, many people tend to use them interchangeably, but the truth is that there are some differences between them, and it’s essential to know.
With temporary staffing, the company receive workers provided by a staffing agency, and they work for an hourly wage and some benefits that are taken care of by the firm, not by the company.
With contract staffing, the company hires professionals for a role under a contract, so this means that the workers get paid by the work they do, instead of the time they work. They’re responsible for delivering a service or product until the completion of the project for which they’re hired.
