I've been using a lot of temps lately to supplement our staff, from three different agencies. They seem to all have a "history." Lots of emotional issues. For approximately 95% of them there are some very good reasons why they're temping.

I would think you are dealing with the cross section of workers known as career unemployable.

Mostly comprised of: drug and alchol addicts, tax cheats, dead beat dads hiding from the system, mental cases, illegals w/ forged papers etc etc

Basically everyone whom you DO NOT want working with or for your company.

I am sure there is a normal guy that shows up occasionaly .... but more than exception than the rule.

basically it seems like they stop at the nuthouse and swing by the jail to pick up people for work.

I used to be in sale for the company.

I will start by saying that Labor ready is one of the only temp companies nationwide that pays its temps DAILY IN CASH. What you work that day, you get paid for that day. What kind of people need cash in hand on a daily basis? I'll leave it to your imagination. Most other agencies pay better and pay weekly or bi-weekly. So their temps tend to stick around longer and work harder.

You can request that the temps that work for you be put on a weekly ticket. Then you are more likely to get people looking for a full weeks work. However, if you only need temps on a daily basis, just pray.
