Evaluation Hire
An Evaluation (temp to hire) contract is a type of
employment arrangement in which an employee starts off as a temporary worker,
but with the possibility of becoming a full-time employee if both the employee
and the employer are satisfied with the arrangement.
Main benefits of an Evaluation Hire:
Compared to direct hire or temporary contracts, the benefits
of a temp to hire contract are:
1. Try before you buy
Both the employer and employee have the opportunity to test
the waters and determine if the job and company are a good fit before
committing to a full-time hire.
2. Flexibility
The employer can bring on a temporary worker to meet
short-term needs without committing to a long-term hire.
3. Cost-effective
Hiring temp workers can be less expensive than hiring
permanent employees, and the employer can save money on recruitment, training
and other associated costs.
4. Reduced turnover
The temp to hire arrangement allows the employer to evaluate
an employee's performance, work ethic, and fit before making a full-time offer,
reducing the risk of costly turnover down the line.
5. Career advancement
For the employee, a temp to hire contract can lead to a
full-time position, providing career advancement opportunities and job
security.
