In 2015, the U.S. Labor Department found that 65 percent of employers anticipate an increase in the use of
flexible staffing arrangements to meet their future talent needs, and consultancy Ardent Partners anticipates that 50 percent of the workforce will be contingent by 2020.
While some
staffing agencies work only with candidates seeking full - time jobs, others specialize in
flexible work
arrangements and may have extensive connections with employers looking to fill part - time or seasonal positions.
