Temp Agency Recommendations

[JiriHrdina]

I am likely moving into a position where I need to supplement my income with some part-time work, and have been considering temp work. Has had anyone had an experience doing this? Good/Bad?

Any specific recommendations for Calgary temp agencies? I'd be looking the area of clerical/bookkeepping/office work as opposed to labor.

I've done contracts in the past with Diversified Staffing and found them to be quite good to work with; if I remember correctly, they have a decent benefit package once you're with them for a while. Most of my contracts were on the professional side (as opposed to simply clerical), but I assume they're equally good in handling clerical contracts.

Drake, Diversified, Hayes, IS2, Sperion, can all do the job for you.

Drake is probably the weakest of the bunch right now. Hayes is relatively new, but they have a good client base. IS2 is a little local but they have some nice clients. Sperion might focus more on permanent spots. You could contact Robert Half as they deal with a lot of admin contracts.
