temp agency

[s85]

Have consulted the biggest Italian dictionary I have as well as WR and I can't find the words I'm looking for...

I'm looking for a translation of "temping agency" ie a business that places temporary workers with short staffed companies. Also could you please translate "temp" (ie. a temporary worker) and the verb "to temp" (ie. to do temporary work).

Thanks again for your help

in the word reference dictionary, temporary employee is "impiego provvisorio"

 

[dalila]

temping agency=agenzia di lavoro interinale (but I'm not completely sure)
temp (noun)=lavoratore (m)/lavoratrice (f) interinale
to temp= avere un lavoro interinale

Hi s85,

you must be talking of a neologism.

"temping agency" = agenzia di lavoro temporaneo or agenzia di lavoro interinale (interinale and temporaneo are synonyms in this case)
"temp" (ie. a temporary worker) = lavoratore temporaneo or as dalila suggested
