Benefits beyond your salary

Temp agency or permanent: what's the difference?

Through a temp agency

  • Limited seniority build-up between assignments
  • Uncertainty over whether your contract gets renewed
  • Often less access to company benefits than permanent colleagues

Directly through Werkvolk

  • Your full salary goes to you, with no intermediary
  • You build seniority and benefits from day one
  • You know the salary and benefits that come with the job upfront
  • Direct communication with the employer, no middleman
