Frequently Asked Questions

Q1

In Temp-to-Perm, can we request for the resumes of Candidates and can we conduct tests, interviews with them?

Yes, these are possible in the temp-to-perm arrangement.

Q2

Can we directly hire a Dispatched Worker who is currently working at our company under a regular Temporary Staffing arrangement?

Should ManpowerGroup receive such a request from you, the Client, we will confirm with the Dispatched Worker regarding his or her intention to work in your company as a direct employee. If he or she also agrees, under the agreement between the 3 parties (Client, Dispatched Worker, ManpowerGroup), we will change the regular temporary staffing contract into a temp-to-perm contract or a permanent placement contract.

Q3

Can we decide not to directly hire the Dispatched Worker at the end of the dispatch period under a Temp-to-Perm contract?

Yes. You can make your decision during the dispatch period (maximum of 6 months) when you can see a candidate in action, and develop and true understanding of his or her skills and capabilities. There may also be cases when the Dispatched Worker himself or herself may decline the offer for direct employment. If any of the parties do not agree, then the placement will not come into effect.

Not necessarily - a fixed-term employment contract is also possible. However, please keep in mind that long-term employment is a prerequisite in the conventional intent of job introductions.
