When you are in the hospitality and food industry, it makes sense to turn to a temp agency, and this is true whether you are an employer or a worker. Here’s why.
Many Advantages
To start with, so much of hospitality work is seasonal. For example, there are lots of weddings in the spring and summer months, but not so many during the winter and the holidays. Therefore, as an employer, it doesn’t make sense to post permanent jobs and then have to lay off workers once the rush is over, and, as a worker, it doesn’t make sense to apply for them. The answer is seasonal work where all parties understand that the need is temporary.
Next, temp agencies allow both employers and workers to figure out if they are a good fit for one another. From an employer’s point of view, there is no sense in going through the entire hiring process for people who might not stick. From a worker’s point of view, there is no sense in committing to a restaurant, catering agency or bar that you aren’t sure will be a good employer for you in the long term. A temp agency allows workers to pick up shifts without long-term commitments.
To conclude, there is plenty of work preparing and serving food and drink in the United States. You just need some help from a temp agency to find it and pick up shifts.
