Set role and terms
Define the job, evaluation goals, expected trial structure and conversion terms in writing.
Bring vetted talent into a real working environment on EPIQORE’s W-2 payroll, then decide whether permanent conversion is right for both sides.
Temp-to-hire, also called contract-to-hire or temp-to-perm, starts with a temporary assignment and creates a defined path to possible permanent employment. During the evaluation period, the worker is employed and paid by EPIQORE. If the fit is right and the agreed terms are met, your company can convert the worker to its payroll.
Define the job, evaluation goals, expected trial structure and conversion terms in writing.
EPIQORE applies sourcing, screening, two-person review and the 90%+ match threshold.
The selected person works in the role while EPIQORE administers the W-2 assignment.
Both sides evaluate the fit. If approved, conversion follows the written agreement.
Direct hire may be more appropriate for senior, scarce or highly competitive talent, for candidates who require permanent status to move, or when the business has already committed to permanent headcount.
The temporary bill rate applies during the evaluation period. If the worker converts to your payroll, any conversion fee or adjustment follows the written agreement. The amount can depend on assignment length and agreed terms.
EPIQORE will not advertise “free conversion” or a fixed waiver unless that exact policy is confirmed for the engagement.
| Model | Primary goal | Initial employer | Permanent path |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temp-to-Hire | Evaluate before permanent commitment | EPIQORE during trial | Planned possibility |
| Direct Hire | Fill a committed permanent role | Your company day one | Immediate |
| Temporary | Short-term coverage or flexibility | EPIQORE during assignment | Not the primary goal |
No. Temp-to-hire creates an evaluation path, but it does not guarantee conversion, performance or retention. Both sides must decide the fit is right.
EPIQORE employs and pays the worker as a W-2 employee during the agreed assignment. Your company directs the daily work.
Conversion terms are disclosed in the service agreement before the assignment. The exact fee or adjustment depends on the agreed terms and assignment history.
No. The 90-day guarantee is for eligible direct placements only. In temp-to-hire, the evaluation period itself is the risk-reduction mechanism.
