Why Temping Should Be Part of Your Employment Solution
Posted On June 25, 2025
Temping = Opportunity.
We see it all the time – temporary work opens doors. Whether you're an experienced professional transitioning to a new industry, a first-time job seeker, or someone re-entering the workforce after a break, temping provides real opportunities. It gives you access to a wide variety of roles across a range of industries and businesses.
Temporary work can bridge the gap between jobs, ease your return to the workforce, or simply suit your lifestyle. For many, it becomes their preferred way to work – and we proudly partner with long-term temps too.
Let’s explore the benefits:
No Cost to You
First things first: there’s no cost to register with us as a job seeker. Our Client Manager, Matt Smout, explains this in more detail in his quick video –

Get Your Foot in the Door
Many of our temps land assignments with leading local businesses across the Manawatū. It’s a great way to experience company culture, show your value, and connect with the right people. Temporary assignments often lead to further opportunities within the business.
It Can Lead to Something More
Every year, several of our temps are offered permanent positions by the companies they’ve worked with. A short-term role can be the first step in a long-term career.
Upskill While You Earn
If you’re open to learning, temping is for you.
New environments = new systems, processes and skills. Even in roles you're familiar with, you'll expand your experience and boost your CV – all while getting paid.
Flexibility to Fit Your Lifestyle
Temporary roles are increasingly seen as a lifestyle choice, not just a stop-gap. Many people now prefer short-term assignments or fixed-term contracts for the variety, flexibility and work-life balance they offer.
