Departmental Resources - Temporary Employment Agencies

Temporary employment agencies play an important role in helping The University of Arizona fill short-term staffing needs.

For a detailed list of temp agencies contracted through the UA, along with steps on how to procure temp agency staff, please refer to: http://w3.arizona.edu/~pacs/purch/tempstaff.tempaward.html

Advantages to Hiring Departments:

  • Effective and timely means for filling short-term staffing needs
  • Opportunity to evaluate skills of temp agency staff who may apply for UA openings in your area

Disadvantages to Hiring Departments:

  • Cost
  • Should not use temp agency staff instead of hiring a more cost-effective and perhaps better qualified temporary UA employee under the terms of a non-competitive hire (CSPM Policy #117.0)

Please consult with Human Resources if your staffing needs become longer term and a recruitment should be done.
