3 reasons to hire a casual workforce
As a growing business, you find the workload building up. You need extra staff quickly but are unsure how to find them. Casual labour-hire allows you to remain flexible and adjust worker levels to match workflow. Let’s dive into why a casual workforce could be the leading solution and how Sidekicker can help.
#1 Easily manage fluctuating demand
As a business with increased demand during specific seasons or times of the day or week, maintaining a roster of reliable casuals will help meet your staffing needs.
#2 Save More
You don’t have to pay for annual or sick leave when you hire casually. Instead, you pay for casual loading. So, depending on how long you’re engaging these workers, pay loading instead of leave could translate to more savings.
#3 Open up a new pool of candidates
Not every candidate wants a permanent full-time role or is able to commit to ongoing work. Casual labour can thus be the ideal solution for both you and the worker.

Sidekicker also helps you retain your best workers with a feature called talent pool. You rehire the same workers, saving hours in your day retraining new temps and casuals
Here’s what the Youfoodz P&C team had to say about our Talent Pool.
“Unlike traditional forms of temporary staffing, we have the same Sidekicks coming back by using a feature called talent pools. Talent pools enable us to have an external workforce available on-demand, whilst having to avoid retraining new temps every time because we’re able to hire the same Sidekicks over and over again.”
