Broader HR Talent Pool

An HR staffing firm has a vast, deep network of skilled candidates seeking employment. These vetted candidates are ready to find the right job opportunities and begin producing.

Temporary-to-hire HR staffing appeals to diverse professionals seeking employment:

  • Many active and passive HR candidates want flexible roles.
  • HR professionals desiring permanent employment might consider temporary-to-hire roles.
  • Career changers who want to enter the HR industry could choose temporary-to-hire positions to develop skills and experience.
  • Employers who need specialized HR skills but lack the budget to hire full-time employees can access highly skilled professionals through temporary-to-hire roles.

Faster Hiring

An HR staffing firm maintains an extensive network of vetted candidates ready to be matched with employers:

  • The staffing firm handles candidate sourcing, screening, testing, and interviewing before adding candidates to the database.
  • The employer meets with a recruiter to discuss the company’s culture and hiring needs in depth.
  • The recruiter sends a few candidates who fit the culture and hiring criteria.
  • The employer conducts interviews and negotiates a temporary-to-hire contract.
  • The recruiter assists with onboarding and regularly follows up to ensure complete satisfaction.
  • When the contract ends, the employer can decide whether to extend it, provide a job offer, or let the worker move to another opportunity.

These activities help quickly add the right professionals to HR teams.

Reduced Hiring Risks

The trial period of temporary-to-hire HR staffing helps add the right professional to a team:

  • The employer has a set time, typically 30-90 days, to evaluate the temporary-to-hire worker’s knowledge, skills, abilities, and employee interactions.
  • After the contract ends, the employer can decide to offer an extension or full-time employment or let the worker find other job opportunities.
  • This flexibility helps avoid the direct and indirect costs of a bad hire.

Lower Hiring Costs

Working with a temporary-to-hire staffing firm reduces costs related to job advertising, resume screening, interviewing, and conducting background checks. These costs increase when hiring the wrong employee and having to repeat the process:

  • Employing temporary-to-hire HR workers provides time for performance evaluation before making a permanent hiring decision.
  • There is no need to extend a full-time job offer after the contract period.
  • Hiring the right employees increases engagement, productivity, and retention.
  • Effective new hires strengthen goal attainment, revenue, and the bottom line.
