What counts as Staffing and temporary employment

This industry corresponds to division 78 of the SK NACE classification: employment placement, temporary employment and other human resources provision. According to official statistics it is a small industry with fewer than a thousand businesses.

Many agencies have a different main activity recorded, for example management consultancy. When selecting, we therefore also use permits and the identification details on websites, not only the SK NACE code.

Temporary employment or recruitment?

Temporary employment agencies assign their own employees to user companies, mainly in manufacturing and logistics. Placement agencies find candidates for clients. Their needs differ: the former deal with accommodation and transport for workers, the latter with job advertising and recruitment software.

Agencies often operate nationwide or across borders. A selection by region reflects the registered office, not where workers are placed.
