As the Economy Revives, PrincePerelson’s Temporary Staffing Helps Clients Grow with Less Risk

With the U.S. Labor Department reporting greater-than-expected economic gains in February, Utah businesses are looking to expand their staffs to support a rebound. But with many of these businesses still reeling from pandemic-driven setbacks, PrincePerelson is helping them scale up cautiously with the help of temporary staff.

With nearly 30 years of helping people find and fill jobs in Utah, PrincePerelson has a deep understanding of the state’s unique business culture. The woman-owned recruitment firm has cultivated extensive networks across many industries. These connections enable the Perelson team to tap potential candidates who may not be accessible through traditional hiring sources.

Jill Perelson, CEO and Founder of PrincePerelson, said that with the good economic news, many Utah companies are emboldened to expand their reach. Temporary and temp-to-hire workers help them do so without overextending. “Many companies were burned by the pandemic and had to lay off employees,” said Perelson. “Temporary staffing helps them test the waters without committing to a full-time or direct hire that they may or not be able to retain.”

The Labor Department surprised America with hiring reports for February that far outpaced expectations. Though the department was optimistic about the economic recovery, they predicted just 210,000 new jobs as opposed to the nearly 380,000 jobs that were actually added for the month. That put unemployment at 6.2%, down from 14.8% last April, and signaled to companies that Americans have more buying power than they have had since the pandemic hit.

With the economy showing resilience, companies are looking to expand products and services, augment existing locations, and add offices in and out of state. Many are bolstered by Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) that incentivize small businesses to stay open and grow beyond the crippling effects of the pandemic.

Temporary staffing options allow companies to grow into the rebound while hedging against the financial uncertainty that still lingers. They also help companies avoid the blows to both finances and morale that come with bad hires.

“Our temp-to-hire services allow ‘try-before-you-buy’ security,” said Perelson. “Even if an employee looks great on paper, there are some intangibles that you can’t assess without seeing them in action. Temp-to hire lets employers see their skills at work and take note of how well they fit into the company.”

PrincePerelson is known for their focus on “relationship-driven recruiting,” a departure from the one-size-fits-all practices common to other hiring firms. They pride themselves on getting to know the unique culture of each of their clients, which enables them to provide “exact fit” candidates.

PrincePerelson is an Inc. 5000 company and the winner of the “Best of Salt Lake City” award for employment agencies. They were named to Staffing Industry Analyst’s “Diversity Staffing Firm” and “Fastest-Growing US Staffing Firms” lists.
