The employment goal used to be find a company that will take you in, train you to their liking and keep you safe, warm and employed well into your old age. When that dream started to slip away from jobs in the private sector people looked to utility and government positions to provide that type of security. That too is going the way of the dinosaur as the economy is forcing even government institutions to implement layoffs. The outgrowth of that phenomenon is the new trend in outsourcing and temps.

Not only is this popular in the general job market of bulk office and industrial jobs but it is really becoming status quo in the specialized fields like engineering, management and now media jobs. Need an art illustrator for a new project that will take about six months to complete? Instead of hiring a new person for the art department and waste the time bringing him or her up to speed in the particular niche this project will entail, just phone up a headhunter and find someone who is looking for a freelance assignment and who has that particular skill set that this project needs. And if you hire them through a temp agency all the better.

Pay one price, no need to add to company programs like insurance, retirement etc. and you get the project done on time and under budget. The temp leaves happy, the recruiter gets a feather in their cap and you go on to happiness. Next time advertising jobs opens up at the company, ring up the recruiter and ask to “do it again” and the cycle runs again.
