These positions represent short-term or contract-based roles within a storage and distribution facility, facilitated by an employment agency. Individuals are hired for a defined period to assist with tasks such as order fulfillment, inventory management, and shipping/receiving. An example includes a worker contracted through an agency for three months to help a distribution center manage increased order volume during the holiday season.
The availability of such roles provides crucial flexibility for both employers and employees. Companies can quickly scale their workforce to meet fluctuating demands without incurring the costs associated with permanent hires. For individuals, these opportunities can offer a pathway to gain experience in a specific industry, earn income during periods of unemployment, or explore different career options before committing to a full-time position. Historically, the prevalence of this type of employment has mirrored economic cycles, increasing during periods of growth and decreasing during recessions.
