Staff leasing, meaning “renting” employees from specialized enterprises, on determined periods, is one of the best solution to face the crisis shorting in transport and logistics companies. HR specialists say that, at the moment, the personnel leasing has known a diversified and constant growth. Many employers use the temporary work-force to cover their demands and needs on a short term. They say they will hire more personnel only when they register strong proofs that the recession is over.

“Since late 2008, transport companies have been affected to a large extent by the economic crisis, which is why they have limited activity and hence the number of employees. Firstly, they waived the external staff, employed by outplacement firms, and then restructured their own staff”, believes Diana Bonciu, personnel leasing & recruitment manager at the company Trenkwalder Sobis.

Lately, the number of requests for personnel leasing consistently increased even for jobs or activities that are not necessarily seasonal. Personnel leasing service offers transport companies’ flexibility in accordance with the needs, reducing risks and costs for the staff, because companies that are using the service are charged only for actually performed worked by temporary employees.

Typically, such a service costs are negotiated depending on the number of people required, the level of their competence and the period of the contract.

The price charged by companies playing the role of temporary employment agent for the service, is a percentage of total labour costs with the placed employee. Thus, crisis rates are somewhere between 7 and 12% of the total monthly cost, per employee.
