Temp-to-hire staff. If you’re in search of a permanent employee but feel wary about an immediate hiring commitment, you can opt for temp-to-hire staff. In this staffing situation, you can bring on a temporary employee to get a feel for his or her skill set and how well he or she fits within your company culture. Once you feel comfortable with the temporary employee, you’ll have the option to hire him or her as a full-time staff member.
