On-the-Job Evaluation
See real performance, collaboration and reliability during the contract period before committing to a permanent role.
Staffing Solutions · Temp-to-Hire
Hire with confidence,
after you've seen the work.
Start with a contract assignment and convert to full-time once you've seen the performance and the fit for yourself, lowering the risk of every permanent hire.
Overview
A résumé and an interview only tell you so much.
Even a great interview can't show you how someone handles real deadlines, works with your team or picks up your systems. Temp-to-hire closes that gap: the person joins as a Tekleads field associate on a contract, and you evaluate the actual work before making a permanent offer.
If it's a strong fit, we convert them to a full-time employee of your company. If it isn't, you've avoided a costly mis-hire, and we go back to the search.

Why Tekleads
Evidence over intuition.

Flexibility on both sides
Candidates get to evaluate your team and culture too, which leads to better retention after conversion.
One partner throughout
The recruiter who sourced the associate stays involved from placement through conversion.
How we work
From contract to career.

Match & place
Candidates are screened for the role and for interest in a permanent position, then presented to you.
Evaluate on the job
The associate works with your team while we hold regular check-ins on performance and fit.
Convert

FAQs
Common questions
How long is the evaluation period?
The contract length is agreed at the start and depends on the role and your hiring process. We'll help you choose a period long enough to make a confident decision.
Is there an obligation to convert?
The purpose is to give you a decision, not lock you into one. Conversion terms are set out in your agreement with Tekleads before the assignment begins.
Will candidates be interested in a permanent role?
Yes, we screen specifically for candidates who want a long-term position, which makes conversions more likely to succeed.
