There are legit reasons for using temp services to find new hires, most due to the turnover I mentioned previously.
Interesting sidenote, I bumped into a lot of racism in very small blue collar businesses. 'Can you get me a white guy?'
NO! Businessmen racist? That's absurd. Next thing I know, you'll tell me some of them were cheap bastards.
Keep in mind this was over 25 years ago now and I started cold calling from the back of the telephone book, lots of eastern European guys. Anyway I told them the truth - not only is it illegal, the blue collar working black guys were much more reliable overall than whatever white golden-boy temp we could supply that week.
