See job offersTemporary work is increasingly common in France. Many companies use it as part of their recruitment process. These limited-duration assignments allow them great flexibility to fill vacant positions.
What about the advantages of temporary work for employees? For a long time considered precarious, the status of temporary worker is becoming more widespread. Above all, it offers many privileges.
Here are 9 good reasons to work as a temporary worker!
1. Promoting Autonomy, an Opportunity Offered by Temporary Work
Temporary work is first and foremost synonymous with flexibility for the candidate. This type of contract offers the possibility of alternating between short or long assignments. This status also allows you to opt for periods worked or not worked, according to the temporary worker's wishes.
This flexibility offers a definite advantage when you want to find your own balance between your professional and personal life. It is possible to adjust your contracts according to your desires and needs. Full-time or part-time, choice of geographical area, specialization in a field or broadening of skills are all levers that the temporary worker can use.
2. Obtaining Support from Professionals in Your Job Search is an Advantage
One of the roles of a temporary employment agency is to advise candidates who apply for an assignment. For a person actively seeking employment, this support provided by professionals is invaluable. The support of each temporary worker during the interview is adapted to each profile in order to assign them the mission that best suits them.
The temporary employment agency also and above all contacts user companies on behalf of the candidate in order to assign them missions. These steps are taken by Staffmatch and facilitate the job search for the future temporary worker. They do not need to respond to unsolicited applications or send multiple CVs to land an assignment.
3. Using Temporary Work as a Stepping Stone to Get Out of Unemployment
Depending on the professional background of the unemployed person, finding a fixed-term contract of several months or a permanent contract can be tedious. Young profile with little experience, senior, specificities of the job sought are all criteria that can make recruitment difficult. Using temporary work is then a good alternative to get out of a period of unemployment.
Temporary employment agencies have a large base of partner companies looking for candidates for vacant positions. These are varied, in all sectors of activity. Moreover, working as a temporary worker and being unemployed are not incompatible. It is possible to maintain your registration with Pôle emploi (the French unemployment agency) while working as a temporary worker, depending on the amount of remuneration received. This allows, among other things, to avoid a sudden drop in income in the case of part-time employment, for example.
4. Managing Your Career: One of the Advantages of Temporary Work
Just as this status offers flexibility in the chosen assignments, it also allows you to manage your career according to your desires. If you are undergoing professional retraining, temporary work has the advantage of allowing you to acquire some experience in a profession far from your initial field of activity. This is an opportunity to move in a new direction with confidence.
If, on the contrary, you are at the beginning of your professional career, fresh out of school, working as a temporary worker can confirm (or not) your choices. It is indeed not uncommon to be a young graduate and hesitate about the direction to give to your career, or about the sector of activity in which to flourish. Working as a temporary worker allows you to discover different work environments, with longer or shorter contracts, before committing yourself in the right direction.

5. Not Remaining Inactive, for a Well-Filled CV
In addition to the fact that temporary work avoids periods of unemployment and inactivity that can weigh on morale, opting for this type of contract is good for filling your CV. Continuing to be active in the job market shows the recruiter a certain perseverance. The candidate thus proves their willingness to remain in active life. This is an excellent way to gain points, in view of future recruitment for a long-term job.
Another advantage of temporary work is that it allows you to maintain social connections, unlike an unemployed person. Working and completing your CV allows you to build relationships with the team, but also to benefit from the privileges and opportunities offered by the user company.
6. Benefiting from Attractive Remuneration: An Advantage of Temporary Work
One of the main advantages of temporary work is the salary received. Strict fairness must be observed between the salary of the temporary worker and that of the replaced employee. It is therefore not possible to receive less than an employee with the same qualifications, in the same job. It's a matter of law!
When the temporary assignment ends, the temporary worker receives additional income at the end of the contract. This is partly linked to the precariousness of certain contracts. At the end of the assignment, the temporary worker is therefore paid an end-of-assignment indemnity (IFM). The latter represents 10% of the total gross remuneration received during the total duration of the contract.
7. Landing a Permanent Contract (CDI) Thanks to a Temporary Contract
Hiring after a temporary contract is not a myth. It is not impossible for a temporary assignment to lead to a permanent contract (CDI). The period of work carried out in the company can indeed allow the company to assess the employee's skills for the position in question. If they are satisfied with the work done, the contract, initially precarious, can lead to a contract offering more stability.
For the company, it is easier to recruit a temporary worker for a permanent position to be filled. The recruiter has known the person for several weeks or months and knows their way of working. This is an advantage in minimizing the risk of hiring and reducing hesitation about potential applicants.
8. Developing Your Professional Network by Working in Several Companies
Temporary work is often considered an accelerator for creating a professional network. Each assignment is an opportunity for the candidate to discover new profiles within the various user companies. The many opportunities offered to temporary workers allow them to meet people in very different sectors of activity. A valuable advantage for creating a rich professional network in several fields.
9. Benefiting from Social Advantages Specific to Temporary Workers
Thanks to the FASTT (Fonds d'Action Sociale du Travail Temporaire - Social Action Fund for Temporary Work), the temporary employee benefits from many advantages in different areas of daily life. This non-profit association facilitates the realization of projects for people hired under this type of so-called precarious contract. The FASTT implements aid and services, such as access to housing, the purchase of a vehicle, obtaining a driver's license, etc.
The FASTT also allows temporary workers to have access to training (improvement, refresher courses, retraining, etc.). This right is therefore not reserved only for employees on permanent contracts. The FASTT thus intervenes at all stages of the professional project to help temporary staff choose a profession, training, or a training organization.

The agency then studies the profiles of the candidates to offer them contracts adapted to their situations and skills. If a position corresponds to the temporary worker's qualifications, a temporary employment contract is concluded, divided into two contracts. On one side, the provision contract signed between the agency and the client company. On the other side, an assignment contract concluded between the specialized agency and the temporary worker.
The advantages of temporary work are numerous. Temporary work makes it possible to relaunch one's career, broaden one's skills, and have flexibility in managing one's professional career. The use of temporary work is not a barrier to recruitment on a permanent contract. It can even be a stepping stone.
