Today’s manufacturing employers have a growing need for short-term employees, and are turning to temporary workers to fill this gap. As a job seeker exploring the potential opportunities within temporary jobs, you may be wondering if you still need to go through the interview process. 

Temp jobs typically follow a different structure than direct placement or long-term positions. Here’s what you need to know about the hiring process for temporary jobs.

## Do Temporary Jobs Require Interviews?

If you apply directly to a temporary position you will likely need to interview. However, if you work with a staffing agency like Strom Engineering you will not need to directly interview for positions. Instead, you’ll likely interview once with the staffing agency and be qualified from there for placement.

## What Factors Determine Whether an Interview is Needed

There are many factors that can impact whether a company or recruiting agency may interview you directly for a temporary role. Typically the more critical the role, involving specialized knowledge, the more likely you are to have a direct interview for the position. One of the benefits of many temporary positions is that they often do not have such significant requirements, focusing more on general skills and flexibility — meaning that your initial interview with the staffing agency is all that’s needed.

Time constraints may also influence interview requirements in many situations. For example, if there’s a sudden demand spike, the organization may not have time to go through such a lengthy process. This is also where staffing and recruiting agencies can come in handy, as many, such as [Strom Engineering](https://www.stromengineering.com/temporary-project-staffing?utm_term=&utm_campaign=**LP+DSA+-+Client+Focused&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=1799268878&hsa_cam=21581142151&hsa_grp=165668156843&hsa_ad=708722223282&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=dsa-2338722106758&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw6c63BhAiEiwAF0EH1D7UjNHYYkKkWZoVqEgZ3BxZTW1fjvZH_keHlg6R0s0D7uSECNDf8xoCdHoQAvD_BwE), will have already gathered the necessary information from you and can then match you directly with a role, rather than having you directly interview for the position. In this process, you do not need to interview again and directly with the company to be hired.
