Acquire top talent, exactly when you need it.

Temporary and contract staffing from Kelly Professional & Industrial is built for these situations:

You have a project, surge, or coverage gap and need qualified people in days — not after a six-week recruiting cycle.

A key employee is on extended leave and the work can't pause. You need someone who steps in already knowing your industry.

You want to evaluate whether a role should be permanent before committing — temporary-to-hire lets you decide without leaving a gap.

You need talent matched by recruiters who are experts in their field — people who speak your industry's language, not generalists sourcing cold.

Frequently asked questions.

Learn more about temporary and contract staffing.

What steps does Kelly Professional & Industrial take to understand a role before searching for candidates to fill it?

A specialist meets with you to clarify exactly what the role requires — the key responsibilities, must-have skills, hiring timeline, and the specific dynamics of your industry. Because our recruiters focus on the industries they staff for, you're working with people who already understand your world, not generalists learning it on the fly. This upfront alignment ensures the search is targeted from day one and sets clear expectations for both the employer and candidates.

Where does Kelly Professional & Industrial source candidates from for specialized roles?

We draw from deep, pre-screened talent pipelines and passive talent networks across every specialty division — including industrial, science, engineering, and technology. This means you're not just reaching candidates who are actively job hunting, but also tapping into a broader network of qualified professionals already vetted for their fields.

Who is the employer of record for staffing placements?

Kelly Professional & Industrial is. As the employer of record, we manage payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance — handling the administrative and legal responsibilities of employment. You, the client, simply direct the employee's day-to-day work, giving you the benefits of extra talent without the added HR burden.
