Temporary employment is an
employment relationship limited
by contract to a certain period due to the needs or preferences of the employer.
Includes
specific-term
, project-based, or task-based contracts, as well as casual or seasonal work, including day work.
Many people who are actively looking for these types of jobs often have difficulty getting them as it is common to find out about searches only through word of
mouth and acquaintances
.
In this context, a free platform
recently started operating in Argentina
that seeks to connect
temporary
job seekers
with
companies that need to recruit workers
, mainly for the agricultural, livestock, industry, logistics, hotel, gastronomy and other high-demand sectors. operational staff.
The jobs offered are for sectors of agriculture, livestock, industry, logistics, hospitality, gastronomy, among others.

What is the temporary work app that connects workers with companies that are looking for personnel?
It is called Zafrales and it was created in 2017 in Uruguay (although now it also works in the country) by Mauricio Pintado and Rodrigo Pereira, a veterinarian and a graduate in Agricultural Management with a postgraduate degree in HR. Both had noticed a disconnect between companies and
staff temporary
.
This is how the idea of creating a platform specialized in the hiring of temporary personnel with
a focus on the field and agricultural campaigns mainly arose
.
And, with this, generate a double benefit: that the client has the necessary personnel and that the workers feel safe and well supported.
"Our projection in Argentina for this year is to have
20,000 workers at the base
and at least 30 regular clients who hire our services," said
Mauricio Pintado
, co-founder of Zafrales.
Meanwhile, he stressed that "in 4 years we have managed to
considerably
reduce the
economic and legal contingencies
of the companies that hire us. The legal framework, labor responsibility and human support mean that we have a solid base of personnel."
As Pintado explains, "in Zafrales we have active communication,
we formalize the legal payment terms
, we provide
work clothes
and
protective elements
,
transfers
,
payments
and everything necessary so that the work can be carried out in the best way, so that the client can detach as much as possible from the subject”.
In reference to the
modality in hiring,
the company offers two options: the first is that of
"outsourced personnel"
where Zafrales takes care of absolutely everything, recruitment, payment of salaries, personal protection elements, transportation, etc.
The second is that of
"intermediation"
where the client is in charge of the payroll and Zafrales recruits and does a large part of the personnel management.
The company gives work clothes and protective elements to temporary employees.

How does the app that connects employees with companies work and what are the requirements?
You must enter the website and there choose one of the two forms of registration:
1) Worker looking for a job:
click on "I want to work" and enter basic personal data such as document number, contact telephone number (which will be the means of communication where job offers are received).
In addition, three job references must be included, and salary aspirations, among others.
Requirements:
You must be over 18 years of age, and you do not need to have completed high school, but you do need to mention your work experience, especially to determine the category.
They can sign up to work anywhere in the country, without residing in a specific area.
Many times the chosen profile has to move for as long as it is employed.
From Zafrales they assure that it uses cybersecurity systems and processes that ensure the
protection of the personal data
of all its users.
Then the company will be in charge of validating that the person's experience is real, and also directly contacts the three job references, from where the initial qualification of the workers on the platform arises.
As they assured
Clarín
, applicants seeking employment
are not charged anything
.
Meanwhile, the selected candidates are sent the notification with everything ready and the final salary.
2) Company looking for workers:
the first step is to generate a user as a company, then requests for workers can be created with the assistance of an account executive.
You can request from one worker for 1 day, to hundreds of workers for months.
From Zafrales they assured that they can recruit workers in less than 24 hours and manage all payrolls in real time.
In this case, companies
are charged an amount to hire the service
