Pretty interesting the thoughts here... I actually run a staffing company in florida. Temporary, temporary to hire and full time staffing in the clerical, help desk and light industrial arenas.

Companies hire temporary employees for lots of reasons. Some do it to cut costs. (some of the larger companies have benefit costs that exceed 50%of the salary)

Some do it for the flexibility - especially if they are in cyclical industry.

Some do the try before you buy - that usually works best for both parties.

Some do because they want to focus on their core business.

The reasons that staffing companies are doing so much of the hiring these days is because the dolts that run companies are all of sudden finding themselves understaffed and during the last downsizing slashed the HR budget. Now there is no one to do any recruiting/screening/ interviewing.
