"Only" 42 % of the temporary employees surveyed use the career platform XING. However, this is still five times more than among the participants in the representative survey, where only 7 % stated that they used XING.

Work-life balance

Work-life balance, a secure workplace, and flexible scheduling are the Highly popular with temporary employees. Every second respondent from temporary employment finds these topics important.
