Quick question — what’s your method for finding trustworthy temp workers? We had a big event last month and had to bring in extra hands last minute. A few folks flaked, and some just weren’t up to speed. I’m trying to avoid that next time. Curious how others handle it when you only need someone short-term but still solid.

Yeah, I’ve definitely had similar headaches. I used to rely on referrals or quick posts in local groups, but it was a gamble — some temp hires showed up late or lacked the skills they claimed to have. Last fall, we had to bring in several devs for a 6-week push. Instead of taking chances, I turned to a staff augmentation service. Read here: https://agileengine.com/staff-augmentation/. They helped us plug in qualified people fast. Honestly, the difference in reliability and professionalism was noticeable.

Just saw this thread while scrolling, and it hit home — not because I’m hiring, but because I’ve worked a bunch of temp gigs myself over the years. From catering to admin support, each place handled onboarding so differently. Some were super organized, others… not so much. What I’ve noticed is that clear expectations and communication from the start make a huge difference. Temporary doesn’t mean unimportant. Anyway, interesting convo to follow — always cool to see how companies approach this behind the scenes.
