“I have been contacted by several recruiting firms regarding temporary work. I don’t really don’t understand how temporary placement works. Can you explain it to me?” -- Megan C.
Great question, Megan. Temporary, Temp-to-Hire, and Permanent are three ways in which companies hire.
Temporary, or "Temp", can either be short term or long term. With that method of employment, you are given a specific start date and specific end date of an assignment. During that time, your checks will come through the agency that you are registered through, not the direct company for whom you are actually working.
Temp-to-Hire is another way that companies hire. It is so both the employer and the candidate can try each other out and make sure it is a perfect fit. You will start out as a temporary employee, then, eventually become a permanent employee if both sides are in agreement. The span of time between temp and perm is never exact, and can last as long as the employer wants.
Permanent is a direct hire position. You are set up with the interview through the agency you are registered with. If you are hired, you are a regular employee of the company and contact with the agency is no longer needed. It is a permanent position.
