A temporary work agency, or temp agency or temporary staffing firm finds and retains workers. Other companies, in need of short-term workers, contract with the temp agency to send temporary workers, or temps, on assignement to work at the other companies.

Answer 2

Temp agencies, sometimes called “employee leasing” or “temporary staffing” agencies, act as labor intermediaries, hiring employees who are then sent out to work for another firm, the “third party employer.” A third party employer may send job applicants to a temporary agency, which acts as the employee’s
“employer,” paying wages and taxes while the employee actually works for the third party, often on that company’s property. Or workers searching without success for full-time permanent work may approach a temporary agency for a job to tide them over until a permanent job comes along Nearly three and a half million Americans work for temporary agencies, which act
as contractors assigning them to individual jobs. The number of temporary employees employed in the United States tripled from 1990 to 1999. The temporary staffing industry is a $72 billion industry in the United States.
