Could you really benefit from this ramp-up package for temps? Let's do the math, and determine how much wasted time and money could be saved.
Typical cost of hiring temps
The first week is usually ramp-up and evaluation time. Productivity is usually marginal or non-existent, especially for technology jobs. Pay an agency $50/hour rate to secure a contract employee.
$50/hour x 8 hours = $400 per day
$400 x 5 days = $2,000/week.
For two temps = $4,000/week.
It makes good sense to reduce temp ramp-up to 3 days or less if possible. And it's easy to see how quickly this package could pay for itself, especially if you use a lot of contract help.

Long Range Company-Wide Benefits
Once the deliverables are completed, because you own the files, you make updates as needed, and could also use them as templates to quickly develop many other department-specific packages by simply editing and changing.
