Office of Human Resources - Staffing Services

Temporary Employment Staffing - External Temporary Hire Process

  1. Access the Human Resources - Temporary Employment Request Form (External) available on the web on HR Forms page.
  2. The department should contact Temporary Services for On-Site Help or Maricopa County Temporary Personnel Services and explain their staffing needs to inquire about the rate as it relates to the position title, pay grade, and proficiency level.
  3. The temporary agency representative will conduct a search to select available workers for that position. The department will then determine if they will want to review resumes, interview and select the temporary employee, or to allow the agency to select the temporary employee based on the skill set provided.
  4. The department should make payment through the use of a purchase order (determine the dollars needed based on length of assignment and funding available) and generate a purchase order number. Additional information is available on the Purchasing Goods and Services website.
  5. When the department receives the invoice(s) from the temporary employment agency, they should review for accuracy, date stamp, initial, and write the complete Purchase Order number (PO#) on the invoice. If a purchase order is not required, the department should attach a payment voucher (PV) to the invoice.
  6. The department should then send the temporary agency's properly coded invoice to Accounts Payable.
