When looking for a job using a temp agency, a common dilemma many people face is "how many temp agencies should I register with?" Should one narrow it down to one company and build a deep relationship of trust with the representative, or register with multiple companies to broaden one's choices? This decision greatly influences the success of finding employment and subsequent satisfaction.
However, the specific reality of how many companies temp agency users actually use concurrently, the criteria by which they use them differently, and their true feelings regarding the "sense of conviction from concurrent use" have not been clarified.
Therefore, "Haken Connect" conducted a fact-finding survey regarding the "number of temp agencies used" targeting temp agency users.
Survey Summary
- About half of the people think it is ideal to use "about 2 to 3 agencies concurrently."
- About 70% have registered with "2 or more agencies" so far. Multiple registration is now the "new common sense."
- Over 70% of those registered with 2 or more agencies are currently using "2 to 3 agencies" simultaneously.
- The biggest reason for concurrent use is "because the types of job openings and strengths differ depending on the temp agency."
- The satisfaction rate for job selection was about twice as high for "concurrent use of multiple agencies" compared to "only 1 agency."

Survey Results
■ About half of the people think it is ideal to use "about 2 to 3 agencies concurrently"
In response to the question, "Regarding the number of temp agencies used, please tell us what is closest to your ideal," the most common answer, at 46.6%, was "It is ideal to use about 2 to 3 agencies concurrently."
There used to be a trend where "having a deep relationship with one company" was considered a virtue, but now about half consider "concurrent use of multiple companies" to be ideal.
It is thought that this is a coexistence of risk management awareness, "wanting to avoid the risk of not finding a job by relying solely on one company," and the rational judgment that "efficient comparisons can be made if you secure several companies with different strengths."
The number of 2 to 3 companies, which is neither too many nor too few, can be said to be the optimal solution for modern temporary workers, balancing information management costs and the maximization of choices.
■ About 70% have registered with "2 or more agencies" so far. Multiple registration is now the "new common sense"
When we surveyed the "total number of temp agencies registered with so far," a total of 67.6% answered "2 or more agencies."
It shows that many people are already carrying out the "ideal" mentioned in the previous section as an actual action.
In particular, the figure of about 70% for the demographic registered with 2 or more companies indicates that the perception that "registering with just 1 company is insufficient" has taken root among temporary workers.
It is presumed that there is an increase in a highly literate demographic that moves with the premise of comparison from the beginning, rather than just passively adding registrations like "moving to a second company because there were no desired jobs at the first one."
■ Over 70% of those registered with 2 or more agencies are currently using "2 to 3 agencies" simultaneously
When we asked the demographic with experience registering at 2 or more temp agencies (n=203) about the "number of companies they are simultaneously contacting or checking for jobs," we found that 71.9% are concurrently using "2 to 3 companies."
The reality that they are actively using multiple contact points, rather than just being in a dormant state of "having registered in the past," has been highlighted.
