Have you been working with temporary employees for some time? Maybe you see a need in your company for a permanent role. You might have the talent to fill it already working for you on a short-term basis. How do you determine which temporary candidate you should invite to take a permanent position in your company? Here are some ways you can gauge a temp employee’s performance before taking the leap.
- Do they go above and beyond? Average temporary employees will only do the one thing they are expected to do. An above-average temp will pitch in for other tasks as needed. They may even volunteer to do extra work based on their experience. You want to see which temp employee is open to doing more and willing to make some extra effort.
- Do they get along with your permanent staff? Your current, permanent team will also be a major factor in this decision. Sometimes employees can feel threatened by a temporary employee. However, if they get along and work well together, this is a big positive sign that the temp will fit in great with your current team.
- Are they responsible and reliable? Most temporary employees are reliable but occasionally you may find that someone is frequently late or has trouble adjusting to new directions. Focus on the temp who is always on time and has proven that they are reliable and responsible in your specific workplace.
- Do they treat the temp job like a full-time job already? Finally, one big key for deciding who to hire is to look at their overall attitude. If a temp employee treats the job like a temp job, he is probably not putting all of their effort into it. On the other hand, someone who treats this job just like he would treat any permanent position is likely demonstrating that he has what it takes to succeed in your company.
