The
Benefits of Temporary-to-Hire
Employers have discovered that the smartest way to hire a
new employee is through a Temporary-to-Hire Program. It is difficult to
effectively evaluate a candidate without seeing their performance on the
job. Basing a hiring decision solely on interviewing leads many employers to
unknowingly hire the wrong candidate, and find later discrepancies in how a
candidate and/or their references represented themselves in the interview
process.
One way to avoid hiring mistakes and
ensure that you find the best employee for your company’s needs, culture and
work environment is to bring candidates on a contract employee. This allows
companies to assess a candidate’s true abilities, productivity and
interaction with their current staff before bringing them on as an official
member of their team.
Temporary-to-hire situations provide a
bridge to full time employment, by allowing employers to try a candidate for
a few days or a few months, until the are confident that the candidate is a
correct fit for both the position and the company.
Likely candidates for
temporary-to-hire position are individuals who are already working temporary
assignments while looking for a permanent position. Many of these candidates
prefer a temporary-to-hire position because it allows them to evaluate the
company and ensure that they too are making the right employment choice.
If using a temporary-to-hire program
to evaluate new employees is of interest to you and/or your company, it is
beneficial for you to partner with an employment or staffing agency that
specializes in temporary-to-hire and direct hire placements. The agency will
screen candidates and only present you with qualified, pre-tested and skill
evaluated candidates who are aware of the temporary-to-hire process and what
it entails. Using an employment or staffing agency will also allow you to
manage and effectively communicate with the candidate while they go through
the hiring process. Furthermore, by using a staffing agency, they will
handle all employment compliance, payroll and employee benefits until the
company decides to make a full time hiring decision.
