What is Temporary Staffing?
Temporary staffing is the provision of workers for fixed-term or project-based roles. The staffing provider employs the worker, manages payroll and compliance, and deploys them to your company for a defined period. You direct the day-to-day work and set performance standards. The provider carries the legal exposure - employment contracts, social security, tax filings, and compliance risk if something goes wrong.
Why Temporary Staffing matters?
Temporary staffing solves three business problems at once
Most staffing agencies treat temporary work as a revenue play, not a problem-solving play. You lose because their incentives don't align with yours. We're built differently. Legal compliance is how we operate, not a side service.
You avoid permanent headcount risk.
Economic uncertainty, project end dates, seasonal swings, you need capacity without betting your budget on permanent salaries, benefits, severance obligations, and long-term employment commitments. Temporary staffing lets you scale up and down without the overhead.
You move faster than permanent hiring.
Good candidates are off the market within 10 days. Your internal hiring process takes weeks. A licensed staffing provider has pre-screened talent ready to start within days, not months. That gap is your competitive advantage or your missed opportunity.
Legal compliance stops being your problem.
Employment contracts, payroll, taxes, social security, workplace injuries, disputes - these sit with the provider, not with you. You get capacity without the compliance liability.
Why choose Iberia Workforce for Temporary Staffing services?
We're licensed to operate in every country we serve.
Compliance isn't a local partner's job, it's built into how we operate. We carry the legal and employment risk so you don't have to.
Our incentives align with yours - solve your problem, not maximize billable hours.
You need the right person for a defined period. We deliver that and move on. No pressure to extend assignments or fill unnecessary positions. Your flexibility is our only product.
We're run by employment lawyers, not just recruiters.
CBA classifications, visa requirements for non-EU temps, work-time regulations, occupational risk - these are legal questions. We have the in-house expertise to get them right from day one, not outsource them to a third party.
How Temporary Staffing works?
Tell us what you need
Role, duration (weeks, months, seasonal peak), headcount, start date. Is this a one-off need or recurring? Do you need specialized skills or general roles? We assess the complexity and flag any compliance considerations upfront.
We handle recruitment, screening, and legal setup
We source candidates, verify qualifications, conduct background checks if needed. We draft compliant temporary employment contracts under local labour law, register with social security, and set up payroll. We handle all the compliance work - not outsource it to a local partner.
Your worker starts, fully compliant and managed
We run payroll, manage ongoing HR administration, handle any workplace incidents or disputes, and track the employment end date. When the temporary period ends, we manage the off-boarding correctly so there's no liability overhang. You focus on the work.

What's included in Temporary Staffing services?
Recruitment & candidate screening
Sourcing, skills assessment, background verification, and reference checks, tailored to your role and compliance requirements, not just filling an open slot with whoever is available.
Temporary employment contracts
Drafted under local labour law with clear start dates, end dates, role scope, and compliance terms. Not a template adapted for your role. A contract built for your specific situation.
Payroll & social security registration
Monthly payroll processing with all statutory deductions and contributions calculated correctly per country law. Registration with social security, tax filings, and compliance reporting handled end-to-end.
Occupational risk assessment & insurance
Workplace injury liability, incident reporting, and occupational risk evaluation, managed by us, not left ambiguous between you and the worker.
Compliance & legal risk
Employment disputes, wage-and-hour audits, misclassification challenges, injury claims - we carry the legal exposure and defend your company's position if something gets contested.
Ongoing HR administration
Leave tracking, sick pay, performance documentation, workplace conduct issues, managed throughout the temporary assignment so there's a clean paper trail if the relationship ever gets questioned.
Off-Boarding & contract closure
Final payment calculations, reference letters if needed, and employment record closure, handled correctly so the temporary period ends without compliance overhang.

TEMPORARY STAFFING EUROPE
Frequently asked questions
Is temporary staffing legal in the countries you operate in?
Yes. Temporary staffing is a recognized and legally established employment model across Europe. Providers must hold the relevant licensing or credentials for each country - which we do. Operating without proper licensing is illegal and exposes clients to fines and liability.
What's the difference between temporary staffing and temp-to-hire?
Temporary staffing is fixed-term or project-based, the worker's role ends on a specific date. Temp-to-hire converts a temporary assignment into a permanent role after a trial period. The legal requirements differ: temporary staffing has a defined end date in the contract; temp-to-hire includes a pathway to conversion. We handle both.
How quickly can we get a temporary worker on-site?
For standard roles, typically 1–2 weeks from request to start, depending on how detailed your job specifications are. Specialized or high-skill roles may take longer if candidate sourcing is more competitive. We give you a realistic timeline upfront based on the role's complexity and current candidate availability.
What if we need to end the assignment early?
Temporary assignments end on the contracted end date. If you need to terminate early, local law requires documented grounds, same as permanent employment. We manage the exit correctly so there's no liability overhang. Early termination is possible but follows legal procedure.
Can we use temporary staffing for visa-sponsored workers?
Yes. Non-EU workers on work permits or visas can be placed in temporary assignments. The visa category and work permit terms determine what roles are legally allowed. We verify this upfront and ensure the assignment matches the worker's visa classification so there's no compliance violation.
How is temporary staffing different from using contractors?
Temporary staffing means the worker is employed by us, not self-employed. That matters legally: employment law protections apply, social security contributions are paid by the employer, and the legal exposure sits with the provider. With contractors, the worker is self-employed, which changes the compliance requirements entirely.
What happens if an incident or injury occurs during the assignment?
Workplace injuries, incidents, or disputes during a temporary assignment follow the same employment law as permanent roles. We carry the legal liability and manage the investigation, incident reporting, and any claims that arise. Your company is protected from direct employment exposure.
Who is Iberia Workforce, and how do you operate?
Iberia Workforce is part of Connect Group. We operate temporary staffing services through our own licensed structures in each country - no local partner intermediaries. Our in-house legal and HR teams handle recruitment, screening, contract drafting, payroll, and compliance directly. We carry the legal and compliance risk; you manage the day-to-day work.
Can we use temporary staffing for recurring seasonal needs?
Yes. Many of our clients use recurring temporary staffing for seasonal peaks. We can structure rolling temporary contracts that restart each season, fully compliant and with minimal administrative overhead on your end.
Temporary staffing isn't a shortcut to bypass employment law.
It's a compliant, legal way to build flexibility into your workforce. But only if the provider carries the legal risk and understands the compliance layer.
Describe your staffing need - what's the role, duration, start date, headcount - and we'll tell you exactly how much it costs, how quickly we can fill it, and what compliance you're getting.
