empresa de trabalho temporário (temporary work agency)
An agency that employs people itself and sends them to work at another company — a factory, a warehouse, a call centre. It may not operate without a licence, and the law forbids it to charge job seekers (Decree-Law 260/2009).
Where you come across it. Job hunting, especially in warehouses, manufacturing and call centres.
Check the agency's licence in the list on the IEFP website.
