MASA’s temporary employment services availing long term job opportunities

Taking up temporary jobs allows you to test the waters in various fields and occupations to see where your interests lie.

Anyone, from recent graduates to seasoned professionals, can benefit from trying out several fields of work on a temporary basis. Moreover, temporary work can be an excellent entry point into a new job field or business for those who are interested in making a shift.

With temporary work, you can gain exposure to a variety of companies and work environments. It’s no secret that the pandemic has altered the way many businesses function; taking on temporary jobs in a variety of settings will help you figure out where you’ll thrive.

You can learn what it’s like to work for a company you’re interested in and, if things go well, even land a permanent career there.

This article explores the Temporary Employment Services offered by MASA, a leading job recruiter with more than 40 years of industry experience. This article further reveals  how these services can help you find long-term opportunities.

1.    MASA provides access to a superior network

Success when job hunting  has never been more dependent on networking than it is now, especially when you consider the ever-evolving nature of the labour market and the lingering effects of Covid-19.

However, if you’re a job seeker transitioning into a new area, you may be wondering how you can  create a network that will help you find the long-term career prospects you’re seeking for. You can further advance your career by taking on temporary work through MASA’s superior networking.

Since the 1980s, MASA has been the leading Temporary Employment Services agency in South Africa and beyond, placing workers in a wide variety of industries and locations. MASA services the entire country from four locations in South Africa (Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Port Elizabeth).

Temporary work is a great way for job seekers to build a network of contacts who can vouch for them when they apply for permanent positions.

Temporary work assignments can be a less intimidating and more effective option for job seekers who are uncomfortable with networking or attending industry events to expand their professional network.

2.    You will be able to improve your skillset

Temporary jobs are a great way for workers to gain experience in several departments and hone their skills in preparation for permanent positions.

Temporary work is also an excellent opportunity for recent grads and those looking to switch careers to gain experience and insight into their desired profession.

It also allows for professionals to keep up with the latest developments in their field and acquire the expertise they need to further their careers.

MASA provides a tailored onboarding process that allows temporary workers to quickly adapt to their new work environment, and begin focusing on the development of their new skillset with all the necessary support.

3.    The opportunity to gain permanent employment

A major perk of temp labour is the possibility of converting temporary positions into full-time, permanent positions.

Temporary employees give businesses a lot of leeway in terms of staffing levels and schedules, while affording the company a chance to get to know the employee as well. By working out the details in this way, both the firm and the applicant can see if they are a suitable fit for the position.

When a temporary worker’s skills and interests are a good fit for a permanent position at a company, it’s easier to convert their contract into a temp-to-hire arrangement.

4.    Final thoughts

Temporary employment is very often the gateway to new and exciting opportunities in your dream field, providing talented individuals with the opportunity to gain access to some of the best companies in the industry.
