Temp-to-Hire

Test out new workers on the job before making a full-time offer.

How does temp-to-hire work?

SmartTalent’s temp-to-hire staffing services let you evaluate workers on a trial basis. If it’s a good fit, make an offer to bring them onboard as a full-time employee. We’ll make the transition to your payroll smooth and easy. We also offer an early transfer plan called Smart TalentHire, which gives you the same benefit and guarantee of a direct hire.

How is temp-to-hire different than direct hire?

Temp-to-hire solutions give you an opportunity to see how someone performs in a role before you make a permanent job offer. You can get workers quickly and reduce the risk of costly bad hires. If you need to fill permanent roles, a direct hire solution may be your best bet. Experienced temp-to-hire agencies like SmartTalent can help you determine which staffing service is best for your needs.

Efficient Workers, Increased Productivity

“SmartTalent staffed a large project of 50+ employees with only a few days’ notice. Their workers did so much work and were so efficient that we were able to give our regular FTEs a long Labor Day weekend. That boosted the morale of the company and raised productivity for the following weeks.”
