I would recommend setting up an appointment and going to talk to them about it. I would let them know you are not interested in employment but are only interested in temporary contract work. If you do get an assignment you can establish a relationship with the company so that they would call you directly next time they need help instead of going through the temp agency.
Rebecka, that is great advice! Where I am located, we are suffering from a huge staffing shortage and I keep seeing the temp agencies advertising for my target market. I keep trying to figure out how to approach the agencies, but not as a potential employee and this would be a great workaround, thanks!
