What is Flexi Staffing?
Flexi staffing is a service for employing people to make them available to a third party i.e., principal company. This is a tripartite employment type that the people are hired by a staffing agency and then hired out to perform work under the supervision of a principal company.
The thing is flexi staff members have no direct relationship with the principal company. The staffing agency gets paid by the hiring firm and it is given to workers as a wage.
