If you’re looking for a new job, you’ve probably came across a few temp-to-hire positions through a staffing agency, like Aventure Staffing. What is temp-to-hire? Is it the right choice for you? There are many benefits to working a temp-to-hire position, from gaining exposure to meeting new people in the industry. In a temp-to-hire job, you work directly with a staffing agency that places you in a temporary position within a company. If you and the employer agree that this position is a good fit for you, there’s a pretty good chance of being hired on as a full-time employee with that company. Although this cannot be guaranteed for every temp-to-hire position, there are many benefits to consider this type of employment.

What is Temp-to-Hire?

Temp-to-hire is a great option for businesses looking to hire the right long-term employee. An employee working a temp-to-hire assignment can expect to work for about 3 months. If the company feels they are the right fit, they can make the employee an offer to hire them on permanently. A company may request a temp-to-hire employee for a number of reasons including:

  • The company is new and doesn’t currently make enough money to hire a full-time employee
  • Work is purely on a contractual basis and the number of employees needed changes with each project
  • They  want to ensure they are hiring the right long-term employee

Benefits of Working a Temp-to-Hire Position

Job-seekers searching for permanent and long-term positions may think a temp-to-hire position isn’t a good fit. What’s that phrase? Don’t knock it until you try it! Here are some of the awesome benefits of working a temp-to-hire position that you may not have considered:

  • It’s a great way to meet new people. For entry-level job seekers, it’s a great way to start networking in the industry while gaining much needed work experience. You’ll get access to opportunities you may never have had the chance to otherwise.
  • It helps you gain exposure. Temp-to-Hire allows you to test the waters and decide if the industry, company, or position is a good fit, without long-term commitments.
  • You could become a permanent employee. If the company feels you are the right fit at the end of the term, there’s a good chance you’ll be offered a permanent position. Accepting or declining the position will be easier with your understanding of the company and the position! Since you will have a good understanding of the company and the position, accepting or declining the offer is that much easier.
  • You gain experience and knowledge. Companies love an employee with experience and knowledge in the industry. Even if it’s not in your preferred industry, working a temp position will help you gain new skills to add to your resume. Candidates with more experience and credentials in turn receive higher pay! It’s a win-win situation.
