Temporary work. For people who know their business. Did you know? More than two-thirds of temporary workers in Switzerland are contracted to complete specialist assignments – and this figure is increasing all the time.

Nowadays, there are many and various ways that companies make use of staff leasing: to supplement their current workforce during busy periods, to cover a temporary absence, to assist on a key project that requires more staff, or to fill a role temporarily while they decide whether it is required in the long term. Staff leasing, therefore, makes it possible to find a job in all business areas, for example in accounting, IT, HR, logistics, etc.

Temporary positions allow you to stay in tune with the labor market while still developing and honing your skills and industry knowledge and, of course, while expanding your network of contacts.
Furthermore, a considerable number of temporary positions (20 percent) lead onto a permanent contract, either in the same position or in another department at the same company.

Regardless of the type of temporary position, you should take the time to properly look into the job and ask yourself whether it will help you gain further experience. That could mean learning how to use a new tool or spending time working in a dynamic field which offers potential for development in the short or mid term. Perhaps there might also be the prospect of a permanent position down the line – the possibilities are endless.
