MINNESOTA EMPLOYER GUIDE

When should I use temp-to-hire for manufacturing or warehouse roles?

Temp-to-hire can fit when you expect a role to become permanent and want to evaluate how the assignment works for both the worker and your team. For a defined project or seasonal surge, temporary staffing may fit better.

What should we agree on before the assignment starts?

Ask how the transition to direct employment works, including timing, eligibility, and any fees. Set expectations for training, attendance, job performance, and who will give feedback during the assignment.

How should we evaluate the assignment?

Use a short check-in with the worker, their supervisor, and your staffing contact. Discuss what is going well, what needs training, and whether the shift and job duties match what was agreed.

When is direct hire a better fit?

If you have an approved permanent opening and want the worker on your payroll from the start, ask about direct hire. Give the staffing team your requirements, pay range, and interview process so they can explain the options.
