    What Is Temp-to-Hire Staffing?

    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.

    The evaluation path

    How Temp-to-Hire Works

    01

    Set role and terms

    Define the job, evaluation goals, expected trial structure and conversion terms in writing.

    02

    Recruit and vet

    EPIQORE applies sourcing, screening, two-person review and the 90%+ match threshold.

    03

    Work on EPIQORE payroll

    The selected person works in the role while EPIQORE administers the W-2 assignment.

    04

    Decide and convert

    Both sides evaluate the fit. If approved, conversion follows the written agreement.

    When it is the right call

    Use Real Performance to Reduce Hiring Uncertainty

    You want to evaluate job performance in the actual work environment.
    The role may become permanent, but the timing or long-term need is not fully certain.
    Team interaction, reliability and work habits are important to the final decision.
    You want a planned conversion path rather than an open-ended temporary assignment.
    When direct hire may be better

    Not Every Role Should Start Temporary

    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.

    EPIQORE should recommend the model that fits the role—not force every search into temp-to-hire.

    Frequently asked questions

    Temp-to-Hire Questions

    Is permanent conversion guaranteed?

    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.

    Who pays the worker during the trial?

    EPIQORE employs and pays the worker as a W-2 employee during the agreed assignment. Your company directs the daily work.

    Is there a conversion fee?

    Conversion terms are disclosed in the service agreement before the assignment. The exact fee or adjustment depends on the agreed terms and assignment history.

    Does the direct-hire 90-day guarantee apply?

    No. The 90-day guarantee is for eligible direct placements only. In temp-to-hire, the evaluation period itself is the risk-reduction mechanism.
