The idea of a temp agency has been around for over a century. Originally, these agencies supplied mainly domestic help for short term employment. Years ago when families commonly moved their entire household from the city to their country home every spring, it was usually done without taking the regular staff with them – they needed to stay behind to maintain the city home. In the country, they would be met by temporary domestic help who would work for the duration of the family’s stay.
