Requesting Temporary Staffing
Short‐term staffing may be used to aide during a vacancy, while an employee is on leave, or for general support. Supervisors can hire non‐students (including recent CU graduates) who have work eligibility in the United States. Positions are short‐term, hourly assignments. Assignments should exclude research duties. 100% of the total salary plus agency fee will be billed monthly to the speedchart value you specify. The agency fee for candidates identified by the hiring unit is 31%. The fee for applicants referred by temp staffing can be a higher variable rate. Current Columbia University students cannot be hired as temporary contractors but instead as Work-Study or Student Casual Employees.
