From SouthEast Personnel Leasing, Inc. in Holiday, FL What is the difference between temporary staffing services and a PEO? A temporary staffing service recruits and hires employees and assigns them to clients to support or supplement the client's workforce in special work situations, such as employee absences, temporary skill shortages or seasonal workloads. These workers are traditionally only a small portion of the client's workforce. A PEO hires the clients existing employees and assigns them back. These employees can be full time, part time or seasonal workers. These workers make up the bulk of the clients workforce.

Nice chart and narrative on the big employment intermediaries by Christopher Null @Christophernull, PCWorld, July 23, 2013. Reviews Elance, Freelancer.com, oDesk, Staff.com, TaskRabbit for Business, Toptal, Ziptask. If you need a job done quickly, and cost is your greatest concern, one of the big e-ployment services like Elance, Freelancer, and oDesk are all good bets. If you're looking for a longer-term relationship with a worker, but aren't ready to hire someone full time, one of the smaller firms, like Staff.com or Toptal, may be more compelling. Finally, TaskRabbit's heavy background checking make it an ideal pick when you need someone on-site at your place of business, and you want to be sure they're going to show up come Monday.

Doris, looks like you and I found the same article! Just as an update for everyone, I dove deeper into the opportunities for taking surveys to make money. I signed up for Focus Point Global (www.focusgroup.com). They do not have an office in our area, but perhaps additional online surveys may become available. the other company "Delve" seems to have been taken over by Focus Point as their web page defaults to Focus Point. This information may save someone from wasting a bit of time.

This happens to Lisa and me, too. Sometimes our timing is just a bit off. Good work, Annette, on delving into Delve and Focus Point Global. Glad to see you here, too.
