I presently work for a temporary agency within a major company a policy that most companies are taking full advantage of. They are no longer hiring through their HR department, in which I believe that most companies are try to eliminate all together, which is an injustice to every person who is hoping to one day recieve a pension or advance in the mother company. This new practice adopted by most companies is weaking the job market. Why commit to ee when it is much better to hiring a temporary company to be totally reponsible for the poor schumck that thinks he will be hired by that mother company. Let the temporay company be responsible for hiring and firing of the ee. With the chance of advance through a temporary agency is slim to none. Most of the companies longer makes a commitment to the ee but to the temporary agency. What happen to the traditional hiring practices. Going to college and getting out in the work force looking for a job in that field is almost impossible. Companies no longer want to commit to the traditional hiring practices. The job market is weaking in more ways than one. |

The same practice of hiring temps versus direct employees was common toward the end of the last recession 10 years ago. I know because I was in the same situation that I'm in now. Companies get to the point to where they must hire additional workers, but the companies do not want their labor expenses to hurt their bottom lines. Therefore, they can get some help and hide the costs well through temp workers. The thing that broke this practice for a time 10 years ago was when unemployment finally dropped so low as to create a labor shortage, and the temp workers would not stay put. The companies, therefore, had to break down and hire direct employees and provide the benefits.
