The need for temporary IT professionals is growing globally, which in turn drives the growth of professional temporary staffing. The demand for temporary labor is increasing in the transportation and logistics industry due to the growth in warehousing, trucking, and other manufacturing sectors, which further acts as a growth driver for the industry. The emergence of Human Cloud and VMS (vendor management system) has also had a positive effect on the industry as it makes the process better controlled and manageable.
In developed markets, the trend adopted by organizations is to ensure that temporary labor is utilized to the farthest extent possible as it is cost-efficient and flexible. The alternate to temporary labor is permanent staffing, which would be a less-preferred option for buyers. In emerging markets, there’s an increasing acceptance of temporary jobs due to a gradual decrease in the difference between the remuneration for temporary and permanent employees.
The research methodology adopted for the report included:
Growth in robotics and artificial intelligence could result in automation of jobs, where a majority of blue-collar temporary workers are employed. Therefore, the onset of such technologies could result in temporary labor being replaced with the cost savings and efficiencies factors, which comes with technology. Moreover, hiring an extensive talent pool of temporary laborers results in the expenditure of basic essentials such as workstations, computers, etc., which could lead to an increase in cost-per-hire.
