What industries are using temporary staffing
What is temporary staffing / staff leasing?
Temporary employment, also known as staff leasing, is a business service in which one legal entity (temporary employment company) hires and provides staff to another legal entity (user company) under its management and supervision.
The service is a flexible solution for companies that need new employees or additional staffing, but do not want or are not able to hire permanent employees.

Even after the restrictions fell off and the shops and restaurants opened people will not be able to return to their old habits, even if they ever done it. In State of emergency survived these, who restructured their business, so they could reach their clients, even when they could not come to them.

Big retailers
As it became clear from the situation around the COVID-19 in State of Emergency people attack first the pharmacy and then the supermarket stores. And if these stores are not able to meet the needs of their customers, they will look for what they need elsewhere. Stores have to create new positions, so they can be sure that customers will be able to find what they need. It is also needed to maintain hygiene and protect the health of their customers and staff.
In the near future, when the situation improves and the most people stop shopping for a month ahead, these positions will become unnecessary. Then a permanent employment contract would only create difficulties for employers. In this situation, temporary employment is better choice.
