We used a temporary service for one large account last year. Temps did about 350 hours of work for us. A few thoughts:
It was great to have guys show up to work without having to go through the hassle of interviews, etc. This saved me a lot of time. So did the fact that I had just one easy check to write, to the temp agency. For simple grunt work, it is a great way to get guys.
The temporary work we had to do was easy to train. I knew in the first hour if they could handle the job. About half of the workers worked out. This was okay for me at this job, but would not be okay on a lot of others.
Lots of tattoos and face piercings and language barriers. This is not necessary a labor force I'd want to be in public with. Again, this was okay for me, because it was a large, private job.
None of the workers was good enough to hire to train in more skilled work.
