If you haven’t been hired through a staffing agency before, you may be unfamiliar with the term temp-to-perm. Temp-to-perm is a job that is temporary for a set period of time but will eventually lead to a permanent position. We only consider a position temp-to-perm if there is the intent to hire a person full-time at the end of their temporary period.
Temp-to-perm periods can last for around a six-month period or more. The company will mention the period to you once you are hired. Temporary positions aren’t too much different than temp-to-hire positions. The only real big difference is the outcome after each period.
Working temp-to-perm is beneficial for employees because they get the opportunity to test their fit in the company before committing to a long-term role. Additionally, all temp-to-perm positions can lead to permanent employment!
We have often heard that employees who accept a job offer regret it afterward as it wasn’t what they expected. The great thing is, this is not the case for temp-to-perm. When signing on temp-to-perm, you have a three-six month “try-out” to see if you want to work with the company full-time. After that period is up, you will be able to either accept the full-time job offer or reject it based on how you feel about the position.
Have you taken a break from the workforce and are not sure how to get back into it? A temporary or temp-to-perm position may be best for you. More often than not, companies using a temp-to-perm service are more likely to take a chance on an employee with a gap in employment.
Another benefit to working temp-to-perm is networking. Networking is the most important thing you can do to get your name out there in this day and age. Also, companies will usually hire a candidate with more experience than one without any.
