Finding top talent can be difficult. This is why bringing aboard a temporary worker and potentially asking them to stay on a permanent basis may be in your best interest. You can evaluate their contributions and results before deciding whether to extend a full-time job offer.
Look for these indicators to determine whether your temporary employee should be offered a permanent job when their assignment ends.
Excellent Performance
You want a potential team member who works efficiently and obtains the desired results by the deadline. They need to arrive early and stay late when asked. The worker also needs to consistently show they can effectively perform the work with few errors. Additionally, they should ask for extra tasks when possible and deliver more than they need to. This shows both initiative and dedication to the job, team, and organization.
Fit with Company Culture
Having a temporary employee who blends with the culture is a bonus for your organization. They are likely to get along with their coworkers, perform well individually and collaboratively, and add value to your company. The worker also should remain engaged in their tasks, stay productive, and want to remain long-term. These are reasons to bring them aboard full-time.
Relationship Building
A temporary employee who gets to know their coworkers is one you want to join your team. They remain engaged and productive and serve as a positive influence in your organization. The worker also forms relationships with staff at all levels, including colleagues, coworkers, managers, HR, and leadership. This is important when hiring a full-time employee.
Dedication to Learning
Look for a temporary employee who takes an interest in the business beyond their role. They should want to know as much as possible about the organization and the industry it operates in. This may include which tasks need to be performed, why they need to be done, and how they impact the rest of the organization. Expressing interest in the company as a whole shows the temporary employee takes their work and the company’s success seriously. The worker should consistently want to help and learn from others. This enthusiasm and commitment can have a positive impact long into the future.
Desire to Work for the Company
You want a temporary employee who expresses interest in joining your staff. They may be willing to take on a variety of roles if the one they have now may not lead to a permanent position. As long as the worker blends with company culture and has the necessary soft skills, they should be able to gain any hard skills required for the position.
