Temp to perm: a lower risk way to grow your team

27 July 2026 · Equation Recruitment

Every hire is a judgement call, and even the best interview only tells you so much. Temp to perm takes most of that risk off the table. The candidate joins your team on a temporary basis, paid weekly through us, and you see exactly how they perform on real work.

For workers it works just as well. They get to know the site, the team and the shift pattern before committing, and a strong temporary assignment regularly turns into a permanent contract with no gap in earnings.

As a GLAA licensed agency we handle the compliance side end to end. Right to work checks, weekly payroll, holiday accrual and pension enrolment are all managed for you, so your team can focus on the day job.

When you are ready to make someone permanent, the conversion is simple and agreed up front. No surprises, no hidden fees, and a three month replacement guarantee behind every permanent placement.

If you have a role that could suit a temp to perm arrangement, call 01869 323 444 and we will talk you through how it works for your site.

Whether you are hiring or looking for your next role, a conversation costs nothing. Call us on 01869 323 444 and talk to a consultant who knows your market.
