Purpose of the Temporary Pool

The University of Tennessee Temporary Pool provides departments with qualified, experienced temporary staff to bridge short-term staffing needs. We provide temporary staff to fill seasonal positions, vacation periods, and position vacancies due to leaves of absence, and other types of vacancies.

What We Do

We meet with you to discuss your temporary staffing requirements and identify qualified candidates whose skills are suited to your department’s needs.
Our services include:

• pre-screening resumes;
• set up interviews
• conducting reference checks; and
• administering criminal background checks;

Benefits of Using the Temporary Pool

Recruiting temporary employees through the Temporary Pool is an effective means for departments to identify qualified staff for regular, part-time and temporary positions. Some of the benefits of using the University of Tennessee
Temporary Pool include the following:

• We support University departments by identifying qualified individuals for temporary positions, conducting interviews, background and reference
checks;

• hiring a contingent workforce allows the department and employee to determine if the position is a good fit prior to offering regular employment;

• the commission fee charged by the Temporary Pool may
be significantly lower than that charged by an
employment agency; and

• temporary employees are motivated to work in the
University environment.
