Contract and temporary employment is a business arrangement whereby an employer hires an employee on a short-term basis to fill a specific job role or project. This type of work arrangement typically does not involve long-term commitments or benefits. It can be seen as a cost effective way for employers to quickly respond to changing labor needs without making a long-term investment in hiring, training, and retaining full-time employees. Contract and temporary employees are often given the opportunity to showcase their talents and demonstrate their abilities to potential employers, which can open up opportunities for future employment.
