Raya Workforce offers all three models — so whatever your hiring situation, we have the right solution.
Staffing
Short-term workers hired for a specific period or project. Flexible, fast to deploy, and easy to scale up or down.
Flexible & fast
Staffing
Skilled professionals hired for a defined contract term — typically 3 to 12 months. Ideal for project-based or specialist needs.
Project-based & specialist
Hire
Full-time employees placed directly with your company. Best for long-term roles where retention and culture fit matter most.
Long-term & stable
Temporary staffing involves hiring workers for a short, defined period — typically days, weeks, or a few months. The worker is employed and managed through Raya Workforce, meaning we handle payroll, compliance, and HR obligations. You simply direct their work on site.
Temp staffing is the fastest and most flexible option. When your needs change, you scale up or down without the complexity of permanent employment contracts.
- Deploy workers in as little as 24–48 hours
- Scale workforce up or down instantly
- No long-term employment commitments
- We handle all payroll & HR admin
- Ideal for unpredictable workloads
- Low risk — try before you commit
- Workers may lack deep company knowledge
- Higher hourly cost vs permanent staff
- Less suitable for highly specialized roles
- Continuity risk on longer projects
Contract staffing places skilled professionals with your business for a fixed term — typically 3 to 12 months, though contracts can be shorter or longer depending on your needs. The worker is engaged through Raya Workforce under a contract agreement, often for a specific project, role, or period of growth.
Contract staffing is ideal when you need someone with specialized skills for a defined duration — without the overhead of permanent employment. At the end of the contract, you can extend, convert to permanent, or conclude the engagement.
- Access highly skilled professionals without permanent hire cost
- Fixed-term clarity for budgeting and planning
- Flexibility to extend, convert, or conclude
- Raya manages compliance and contractor admin
- Ideal for remote, project-based, or specialist roles
- Reduces risk on uncertain project timelines
- Workers may explore other roles at contract end
- Less immediate than pure temp staffing
- Requires clear scope and contract terms upfront
Permanent hiring — also called direct hire or direct placement — means we source, screen, and present candidates who will become full-time employees of your company. Once hired, they’re on your payroll directly. Raya Workforce handles the full recruitment process on your behalf.
Permanent hire is the right model when you need someone long-term — a role that is integral to your operations, requires deep company knowledge, or benefits from stability and career growth within your organization.
- Build long-term team stability and culture
- Employee invests in company growth
- No ongoing agency margin after placement
- Best for roles requiring deep expertise
- Raya handles full recruitment — saves your team time
- Replacement guarantee if hire doesn’t work out
- Longer process than temp or contract
- One-time placement fee applies
- Less flexible if business needs change quickly
- Requires robust onboarding from your side

Answer the question that matches your situation and we’ll point you in the right direction.
→ Go Temporary
→ Go Contract
→ Go Permanent
Yes — this is called temp-to-perm. You trial the worker on a temporary basis and if they’re a great fit, we facilitate the conversion to permanent employment. It’s one of the most popular models we offer.
Temporary staffing is typically short-term and volume-focused — days to a few months. Contract staffing is usually longer (3–12 months), more skills-specific, and tied to a defined project or role. Both are managed through Raya Workforce.
Raya Workforce handles all payroll, tax, and HR compliance for temporary and contract workers. You simply receive an invoice from us — no additional admin burden on your team.
No fixed minimum — we tailor contracts to your needs. We’ve placed workers for as short as a single week and as long as multi-year contracts. Let us know your timeline and we’ll structure accordingly.
