What Is a Secondment Service?

Secondment is a flexible staffing arrangement where professionals are temporarily assigned to work inside a company, while remaining legally employed by a third-party agency.

This model allows businesses to access qualified personnel—such as HR, finance, or administrative staff—without directly hiring them or managing employment obligations.

It’s especially valuable in markets like China, where employment regulations are complex and compliance is critical. That’s why many companies turn to specialized human resources providers in China for support.
