Temporary placements are short-term job assignments arranged through staffing agencies, where workers are employed by the agency but work at client companies.
The term appears frequently in human resources and employment contexts: The agency specializes in temporary placements for administrative positions.
Unlike permanent hires, these arrangements have defined end dates or last only until a specific project concludes.
