WHAT
does
TEMP-TO-HIRE
mean?
A
temp-to-hire
job
-
also
called
"contract-to-hire"
-
is
an
employment
arrangement
where
a
position
is
temporarily
filled
with
the
possibility
of
the
worker
being
hired
on
as
a
permanent,
full-time
employee
at
the
end
of
the
specified
employment
period.
The
Hiring
Company
places
the
temporary
employee
on
DeLong
Staffing
Specialists'
payroll
for
a
period
of
time.
It’s
an
opportunity
for
either
party
to
determine
whether
or
not
the
position
is
the
right
fit
for
you.
See
our
featured
jobs
for
examples
of
open
temp-to-hire
positions.
HOW
DOES
TEMP-TO-HIRE
WORK?
A
temp-to-hire
employee
is
under
contract
with
our
staffing
agency
throughout
the
temporary
employment
process
and
is
ineligible
for
benefits
offered
to
full-time
employees.
At
the
end
of
your
temporary
employment
period,
the
employer
will
determine
whether
they
want
to
extend
your
employment
period
or
permanently
hire
you.
Choosing
to
hire
you
as
a
permanent,
full-time
employee
will
require
paperwork
and
onboarding.
If
you
transition
to
a
full-time
position,
your
contract
with
DeLong
Staffing
Specialists
ends.
HOW
LONG
DOES
A
TEMP-TO-HIRE
POSITION
LAST?
A
temp-to-hire
position
can
last
anywhere
from
3
months
up
to
as
long
as
3
years.
ARE
TEMP-TO-HIRE
JOBS
WORTH
IT?
Temp-to-hire
jobs
offer
several
advantages:
-
FLEXIBILITY.
Temp-to-hire
positions
enable
you
to
decide
if
you
are
a
good
fit
for
the
job
and
the
company
before
making
a
long-term
commitment.
-
TIME
TO
DEMONSTRATE
YOUR
SKILLS.
A
temp-to-hire
arrangement
gives
you
time
to
demonstrate
your
skills,
experience,
and
work
performance
in
order
to
impress
the
hiring
manager.
-
GAINED
EXPERIENCE.
Even
if
your
temporary
position
does
not
lead
to
a
direct
hire,
you
have
learned
important
skills
that
can
be
an
asset
to
building
your
resume
and
gaining
a
competitive
edge
for
future
employment
opportunities.
-
EXPAND
YOUR
NETWORK.
Every
person
you
work
with
during
your
contract-to-hire
job
is
one
more
connection
in
your
professional
network.
Even
if
those
connections
don’t
help
you
get
hired,
they
may
have
other
connections
that
could
help
you
land
a
permanent
job
elsewhere.
-
FILL
EMPLOYMENT
GAPS.
Even
if
the
role
is
part-time
or
short-term,
contract-to-hire
jobs
are
a
great
way
to
fill
in
gaps
in
full-time
employment.
It
demonstrates
to
future
employers
that
you
were
professionally
active
and
kept
your
skills
up-to-date
with
short-term
employment.
HOW
TO
TURN
A
TEMP
JOB
INTO
A
PERMANENT
JOB
There
are
several
best
practices
that
can
help
you
earn
a
full-time
job
offer
from
temp-to-hire
employment.
-
TAKE
INITIATIVE. Be
on
the
lookout
for
ways
to
contribute
to
the
success
of
your
department.
If
you
finish
your
work
early,
ask
your
boss
or
coworkers
if
there
is
another
task
you
can
do.
Or,
better
yet,
be
observant
and
suggest
an
additional
task
you
know
would
be
useful
and
offer
to
do
it.
-
BUILD
RELATIONSHIPS. Make
an
effort
to
connect
with
your
coworkers
and
managers.
Chat
with
them
during
lunch
breaks
and
be
friendly
and
positive.
Building
strong
relationships
in
the
workplace
can
prompt
your
coworkers
or
managers
to
recommend
you
for
a
full-time
hire
position
or,
at
the
very
least,
be
used
as
referrals
if
the
position
doesn’t
lead
to
a
direct
hire.
-
GET
TO
KNOW
THE
COMPANY. A
common
complaint
about
temp
workers
is
that
they
don’t
try
to
learn
anything
about
the
company.
So
learn
about
the
company’s
history,
clients,
culture,
and
mission.
This
shows
your
employer
that
you
care
about
and
are
invested
in
their
company’s
future.
-
FOLLOW
THE
DRESS
CODE. Adhering
to
the
company’s
dress
code
shows
you
take
the
job
seriously
and
want
to
fit
into
the
company
culture.
Do
not
dress
too
casually
for
your
position
or
dress
up
more
than
the
dress
code
requires.
-
BE
EAGER
TO
LEARN. Show
enthusiasm
for
your
role
and
ask
to
learn
new
skills
that
are
valuable
to
your
employer,
even
if
they
don’t
directly
relate
to
your
current
position.
But
be
sure
to
ask
questions
if
you
are
unsure
about
a
task
rather
than
assuming
you’re
doing
it
properly.
-
TREAT
IT
LIKE
A
PERMANENT
ROLE. If
you
view
your
position
as
a
short-term
job,
then
it
will
only
be
a
short-term
job.
So
put
your
best
foot
forward.
Show
up
on
time
(or
early)
to
your
scheduled
shifts,
diligently
complete
your
assigned
tasks,
and
respect
company
policies. It’s
also
important
to
understand
exactly
what
an
employer
is
looking
for
in
a
permanent
hire.
Otherwise,
you
may
not
perform
the
right
tasks
or
meet
the
right
goals
and
as
a
result
never
get
hired.
-
BE
PATIENT. It
can
be
challenging
to
wait
and
see
if
your
temp
job
gets
you
a
full-time
job
offer.
But
don’t
be
presumptuous
and
immediately
ask
your
boss
if
he’s
going
to
hire
you.
Patiently
demonstrate
a
strong
work
ethic
and
prove
yourself
to
be
an
asset
to
the
company.
Convey
your
interest
in
a
full-time
position
toward
the
end
of
your
temporary
employment
period.
