Temporary & Contractual Staffing

In the course of your day-to-day responsibilities, you may have the need for temporary or contractual talent.  A Professional Services Search Firm Agreement   template has been developed to increase consistency and to provide guidelines for departments when working with search firms.

To assist you with locating temporary talent in a timely, cost-effective, and quality-focused manner, preferred supplier agreements have been awarded to several suppliers.

 Note: The Recruitment & Employment Center no longer maintains a database of talent interested in temporary opportunities outside of the Jobs at Cornell database.

Before contacting our preferred suppliers, we encourage you to engage internal resources, which include the following:

• Your local HR Office or Human Resource representative
  Partner with your local HR office/representative, and consider:
• Posting the opportunity under "Temporary Opportunities" on our Jobs at Cornell web site. Temporary opportunities do not have a minimum posting time requirement.
• Conducting a search of the Jobs at Cornell resume database for available talent (including Cornell staff on layoff status) who have indicated that they have an interest in temporary opportunities.
• The possibility of this opportunity becoming a project or development opportunity for a current employee in your organization.
  


• Recruitment & Employment Center Resources
• Deb Billups-(dav5@cornell.edu  or 254-8239), Qualified University Employees Seeking Transfer (QUEST) Consultant, partners with internal and lay-off talent who may have an interest in pursuing temporary opportunities.
• Betsy Hillman-(eh87@cornell.edu  or 254-8380), Dual Career Program Manager, consults with spouses and/or partners of potential and current Cornell staff and faculty members who may have an interest in pursuing temporary opportunities.
