MENLO PARK, Calif. – Trying to find an ideal match for a particular job position? A recent survey suggests hiring on a temporary basis. Nearly half (46%) of workers polled said performance on a temporary or trial assignment provides the best insight into whether someone is qualified for a job, followed by the interview (30%) and the reference check (12%). Developed by OfficeTeam, a staffing service firm, the survey was conducted by an independent research firm and includes responses from 567 men and women, all 18 years of age or older and employed full time in professional environments. According to the survey, temporary assignments provide employers insight as to how prospective employees skills can add value to the firm.
