Job Seekers
Do you post only temporary jobs?
Yes, Short Stints is the hub and job board dedicated to serving job seekers and employers find and fill temporary positions. There are many other websites and job boards dedicated to serving the population seeking full-time employment.
While some employers and recruiters may seek out potential candidates on a temporary basis at first, and later transition them into full-time employment, not all employers and recruiters on this site will do this. For the purpose of this site, all job posts are for temporary jobs, fill-in, season, contract, intern, and consulting positions.
