You got a great temporary job through Core Personnel. That’s fantastic! Whether the job is for a busy season or a special project, every temporary role is a chance for a great future. What if that temporary job could become something more? What if it's your path to a full-time, permanent career with a company you really like?

The temp-to-hire path is the best way to get a permanent job. Think of it as a working interview. You get to see if you like the company, and they get to see if you are a good fit. Many successful people who work with Core Personnel started this way.

Getting hired permanently isn't about luck. It’s about having a plan. Welcome to the Temp-to-Hire Masterclass. We will teach you the simple steps to make your temporary assignment your next long-term career.

Step 1: Get the Basics Right – Your Strong Start

You must do these things perfectly before you can impress anyone. This is the first thing every company looks for.

• Be Reliable: This is the most important rule. Be on time, every time. If you are going to be late or absent, tell your supervisor and Core Personnel right away. Being reliable helps the company trust you.
• Have a Great Attitude: Come to work every day ready to work. Be positive, listen well, and be polite to everyone; from your supervisor to your co-workers.
• Work Safely: Always follow all of the company's safety rules. A safe worker is a worker the company wants to keep.

The Main Lesson: These simple rules are your foundation. Do not think they are too small to matter.

Step 2: Do More Than Your Job – Be a Helper

After you get the basics right, look for chances to give extra value. Think about how you can help the company grow.

• Be Helpful: Finish your work quickly, then ask your supervisor, "What else can I help with?" or "Is there anything new I can learn?" Don't wait for someone to tell you what to do next.
• Fix Small Problems: If you see something that could be easier or better, offer a smart idea to fix it. If you can fix it yourself (and you are allowed to), just do it!
• Learn New Things: If a supervisor asks you to try a new task or learn a new skill (like operating a different machine), say "Yes!" This shows you are flexible and willing to grow.

The Main Lesson: Show initiative. Companies want people who make the job better, not just people who follow orders.

Step 3: Fit in With the Team – Be a Good Co-Worker

Companies want to hire people who will fit their culture. Show them you are already a part of the team.

• Be Friendly: Introduce yourself and talk to your co-workers. Find out what they do. If the company has team activities, join in!
• Watch and Learn: Pay attention to how the team talks, how they make decisions, and how the company runs. Show them you can work well with everyone.
• Care About the Company: Try to understand the company's goals. Show that you care about their success in the work you do every day.

The Main Lesson: You are a potential permanent team member. Start acting like one now.

Step 4: Tell Them You Want the Job – Ask for the Career

Don't assume they know you want to stay. You need to tell them, but do it in a professional way.

• Say You're Interested (After a While): After you have been there a few weeks and have done a great job, tell your supervisor you really enjoy the work and would love to stay long-term if there is a chance.
• Ask for Advice: Ask your supervisor for feedback: "What can I do better?" or "How can I help the team more?" This shows you want to be excellent.
• Tell Core Personnel: Always talk openly with your Core Personnel recruiter. We are here to help you and can talk to the client about making your role permanent.

The Main Lesson: Be clear about your goals. A proven worker who is confident and interested in staying is very attractive to an employer.
