agency staff
Outsourced temporary workers
Agency staff are workers employed by a staffing agency rather than by the organization where they actually perform their work.
The arrangement lets businesses fill temporary needs or avoid hiring permanent employees: We're relying on agency staff until we can make a permanent hire.
Agency staff typically receive pay and benefits from the agency, not from the workplace where they show up each day.
