Short-term staffers, also known as TEMPS (5 letters), are individuals who are hired on a temporary basis to fill a specific role or job. They are typically employed for a short period of time and are not considered permanent employees. Short-term staffers are often used to fill in for an employee who is on leave or to provide additional support during busy times. They may also be used to fill in for a position that is vacant or to provide specialized skills for a particular project.
