Definition
Temp-to-hire means a worker starts on the staffing agency's payroll and, after a trial period, the business can hire them onto its own payroll. It lets both sides test the fit on real shifts before committing. The agency is paid the hourly bill rate during the trial, and a conversion fee may apply when the business hires the worker, often reduced or waived after enough hours. At Crew Staffing Pros, the conversion fee decreases with hours worked.
