US Classification:

Abstract:

A method is disclosed for optimizing the provision of temporary short and/or long term manpower within a company in a cost efficient manner. Following a study of the historic demands for temporary services within different parts of a company, and a financial analysis of the provision of such temporary services with full time versus part time employees versus the skills to be provided, a new group of full time employees and part time temporary help with predetermined skills is assembled to serve as a temporary manpower resource pool to different organizations within the company. The abilities of members of the new group are assembled into a database along with information as to what company locations a person can work in, their skill sets, the hours they can work, and other pertinent information. As managers within the company require short or longer term temporary help to meet manpower demands, they first consult either a group managing the new group of temporary manpower resources and/or the database and input their requirements. The requirements are compared to information in the database and a list of potential candidates is obtained. After a manager identifies one or more candidates that can meet their temporary manpower requirements they can either contact the candidates themselves or have the managing group do so and arrange for obtaining the services of a candidate.
