What is Temp-To-Hire?
Temp-to-hire, also known as contract-to-hire, is a strategic staffing solution where a candidate is hired on a contract basis with the potential for direct placement. This approach, commonly offered by leading recruitment agencies gives both employers and job seekers a chance to evaluate the long-term fit before making an employment decision.
For Employers:
This flexible hiring model lets companies assess employees’ skills in real work scenarios, work ethic, and the overall fit, far beyond what a resume or interview can reveal. It's also a smart way to adapt to changing hiring needs or cover positions during leaves or peak seasons without committing immediately to a full-time hire.
For Job Seekers:
A temporary contract offers candidates the opportunity to gain experience, build relationships, and prove themselves directly to an employer. It’s a great option for candidates looking to explore a new industry or transition into a full-time position. With time to understand the workplace, the expectations, and the company culture, they can decide whether the role truly feels like the right fit before transitioning into a full-time role within the company.

Testimonials
Senior Vice President
“Our Human Resources Department recommended Burnett Accounting Specialists to help us fill an open Credit Analyst position. I was somewhat skeptical about using a staffing company to fill an important position for us, but the Burnett team jumped in immediately and asked for the characteristics and experience levels we were looking for. We received several resumes to fill the open position and began interviewing the same week. We quickly found the candidate we were looking for, brought him on board, and have been very pleased with the results. Shortly thereafter, we needed to fill another analyst position with a slightly different skill set. Once again, Burnett quickly got us the requested resumes and set up interviews. We filled that position in a week and have been extremely happy with the results. I am pleased to recommend Burnett to anyone in need of timely performance in presenting pre-qualified candidates for temporary or full-time employment. I am completely confident they will surpass your expectations.”
