Another New Trend in Staffing Agencies
July 31, 2006
Another new trend that you may not be aware of with staffing agencies is that they now offer their own benefits packages. I imagine people aren’t getting those temp-to-perm assignments as much as they did in the past. Or maybe there are more people who simply like the variety of working as temps. Whatever the reason, I am glad.
I can work as a temp and still have medical and dental coverage until I find permanent placement somewhere. I don’t know how good the coverage is because I have not, yet, had occasion to use it. I am inclined to think that it is on a par with most other places these days. Still, even lousy insurance is better than no insurance at all.
