If you need seasonal help, or an extra hand to get you through a few busy times each year, these are the people you want to target.
Soon-to-be-retirees.
Only about a third of people who are about to retire want to quit work entirely, a Robert Half Management Resources survey found. Instead, they want part-time work.
