Temporary employees have the opportunity to gain experience””companies are all unique, so the temporary worker will be exposed to a plethora of different situations and office procedures. Temporary employees that meet technical or other requirements of the work are often selected for permanent positions. In this sense, it could be argued that it would be easier to find work as a temporary worker. Temporary employees also have greater potential for flexible hours.
The major benefit to client companies working with Dixon Temporary Services is that we help you keep your productivity at a maximum and your staff at a minimum. Companies that use our services are in need of short-term workers for a variety of reasons.

Temporaries in highly technical and complex fields like bookkeeping can use a pool of skilled temporary workers that moves from company to company, as the need arises.
