Temp-to-hire can be a powerful bridge between “we need someone now” and “we want the right long-term fit” - but only if everyone treats it as more than an extended tryout.

In this episode, Jennifer breaks down how to design temp-to-hire programs that truly work for industrial and light-industrial teams.

For employers and staffing pros, she explains how to pick the right roles for temp-to-hire, set clear conversion criteria from day one, and communicate honestly about timelines, pay changes, and expectations.

For job seekers, she walks through how to approach a temp-to-hire assignment like a 90-day interview: what behaviors matter most on the floor, how to ask about conversion without sounding pushy, and how to decide when a site is worth committing to.

Listeners will leave with simple scripts, checklists, and mindset shifts that turn temp-to-hire from a vague promise into a predictable pathway - reducing churn for employers and opening real career doors for workers.
