An organization may need to temporarily fill resource gaps for positions that are important or even critical to priority projects, ongoing activities/running operations. Finding the right person at the right moment to fill an expert role to ensure business continuity, product quality and team productivity can be a challenge.

There can be several reasons for a gap in personnel. For example, temporary staff may be needed to replace a permanent employee for a specified period for the following reasons:

• Open vacancy cannot be filled at short notice
• Birth-related leave
• Long-term sick leave
• Sabbatical
• Informal care

Temporary staffing can also be a good option when it is known in advance that a certain expertise and/or capacity is required for a shorter period due to the nature of the project or to be able to deliver on time during peak periods.
