Temporary and Contract Staff

In the course of your day-to-day responsibilities, you may have the need for temporary or contractual talent.

To assist you with locating temporary talent in a timely, cost-effective, and quality-focused manner, contracts have been awarded to several suppliers.

Note: The Recruitment and Employment Center no longer maintains a database of talent interested in temporary opportunities outside of the Jobs at Cornell database.

Before contacting these suppliers, we encourage you to engage internal resources, which include the following:

  • Your local human resource (HR) office or HR representative
    Partner with your local HR office/representative, and consider the following:
  • Posting the opportunity under "Temporary Opportunities" on our Jobs at Cornell website. Temporary opportunities do not have a minimum posting time requirement
  • Conducting a search of the Jobs at Cornell resume database for available talent (including Cornell staff on layoff status) who have indicated that they have an interest in temporary opportunities
  • The possibility of this opportunity becoming a project or development opportunity for a current employee in your organization
  • Recruitment and Employment Center resources
  • Kelly Wagstaff (kjw79@cornell.edu or 254-8380), Dual Career Program Manager, consults with spouses and/or partners of potential and current Cornell staff and faculty members who may have an interest in pursuing temporary opportunities
