In a job market that demands flexibility, adaptability and efficiency, student staffing is no longer just a “nice to have”; it’s a smart strategy. Yet, many companies still hesitate when it comes to hiring students. Why? Because of persistent myths that simply don’t match reality.
At Deltaworx, we’ve heard it all. So, we’ve decided to set the record straight. Let’s bust the 7 most common myths about student workers.
1. “Students lack experience”
It’s true that students are still learning. But that doesn’t mean they don’t bring value to the table. Many of them have completed internships, group projects, freelance work or even run side businesses. What they might lack in years of experience, they make up for in motivation, adaptability, energy and a fresh perspective.
2. “They’re never available when you need them”
Not all students are only available on weekends. In fact, many have flexible class schedules and are happy to work during the week. With a clear agreement and planning, they can be just as reliable as any part-time employee. Especially with our support in scheduling, matching and onboarding.
3. “It’s too much administration”
If you work with Deltaworx, we take care of all the paperwork. From contracts to payroll and insurance, we handle the legal and administrative side so you don’t have to. You focus on the job; we’ll do the rest.
4. “They can only do basic tasks”
Think again. Today’s students are digital natives who often bring up-to-date knowledge and technical skills to your company. Whether it’s graphic design, social media management, data analysis or sales, there’s a student out there who fits the bill.
5. “They won’t fit into our team”
Cultural fit is key. That’s why we don’t just match based on hard skills, but also on attitude, communication style and personality. Many of our students end up becoming long-term assets or even future hires.
6. “It’s too expensive”
On the contrary. Student staffing often comes with cost benefits thanks to reduced social contributions. This makes students an affordable and smart way to reinforce your team, especially for short-term or project-based needs.
7. “We’ll consider it later”
Fair enough, but while you wait, others are already benefiting. Companies that work with student talent gain access to a dynamic, flexible workforce and often discover their next full-time employee in the process.
The takeaway?
Student staffing isn’t just about filling gaps, it’s about boosting your team with energy, fresh thinking and future potential. At Deltaworx, we make the process seamless, personal, and surprisingly simple.
