Staffing & Temporary Agencies Some people find work through a staffing agency - also called placement agency, or temporary/temp agency. These private agencies find people jobs with an employer, usually for a short period of time. The employers pay the temporary agency, and the agency is responsible to hire and pay the workers. Please note that the agency cannot ask you to pay for their services, and they MUST tell you about the job they are sending you to - including the company name and address, wages, hours of work, working conditions, length or time, etc. Do some research to see if the agency has a good reputation in your area.
