Temp-to-Perm Recruitment

Interviews only tell you so much. Temp-to-perm recruitment lets you see how someone actually performs in the role — the pace, the standards, the way they work with your team — before you make a permanent commitment.

The service

How we approach
temp-to-perm

The arrangement is straightforward: a worker starts on a temporary basis, and if both sides are happy after an agreed period, the role becomes permanent. It reduces hiring risk for you and gives candidates a genuine route into stable work.

What we provide

Inside the
service

Structured trial periods

Clear, agreed timeframes so everyone knows where they stand.

Matched candidates

Workers selected with the permanent role in mind, not just the temporary assignment.

Progress check-ins

Regular contact during the trial so issues are raised early.

Simple transition

When you are ready to make it permanent, we handle the arrangements.

Who this helps

Built for

  • Employers who want certainty before committing
  • Roles where cultural fit is hard to judge at interview
  • Businesses converting seasonal peaks into permanent growth
  • Candidates looking for a route into permanent work

Why it works

Lower hiring risk

See real performance in the real environment before you commit.

Better decisions

Both employer and candidate make the permanent decision with full information.

Continuity

The person who joins permanently already knows the job, the site and the team.

A fair deal for candidates

Workers get paid work immediately and a genuine path to a permanent role.

How it works

Step by step

  1. Agree the arrangement

    We define the role, the trial period and what a successful outcome looks like.

  2. Candidate matching

    We select workers with the skills and intent to go permanent.

  3. Temporary placement

    The worker starts on a temporary basis with clear expectations.

  4. Review together

    We check in with both sides during the trial period.

  5. Convert to permanent

    If everyone is happy, we complete the transition to a permanent contract.

Why AL Select

The standard behind
every placement

Every worker we supply is screened, referenced and briefed before they arrive. You get a named contact who knows your account, honest answers about timescales and availability, and a team that treats problems as things to fix — quickly. More about our approach on the About page.
