Question 1: Temp-to-Fulltime

Temp-to-fulltime is a new trend of hiring that allows employers to evaluate staff through temporary work before they hire them for fulltime work. It is advantageous to job seekers since it allows them to sample various positions before making their final career decisions (Robert Half Company, 2016). The popularity of temp- perm is shown by the millions who go to work daily as temporary employees.

Temporary to permanent work is a method of hiring that allows employers to hire individuals who fit perfectly with the requirement of particular positions. Employers also have the advantage of avoiding common human resources problems such as overstaffing, costly retraining, and layoffs.

Temporary work has several benefits to those seeking positions. The first advantage is that it provides the potential candidates for fulltime jobs with an opportunity to explore career, and attain flexible work schedules, develop skills, and widen job search network and transition into fulltime positions (Robert Half Company, 2016). Temporary work also enables the individuals to focus on other life interest. For example, a person employed on a temporary basis can continue furthering his/her education.

Temp-to-permanent is also an employment option that provides valuable experience for the candidate’s resume. Many executives who sit on interview panel consider long periods of temporary work comparable to full-time employment (Robert Half Company, 2016). Temp-perm also provides prospective candidates with an opportunity to impress employers. Employers take this opportunity to gauge whether prospective candidates meets the requirements of more permanent positions.
