To Your Crew from 'The Crew'

A staffing firm hires its own employees and assigns them to support or supplement a client’s workforce. 

Temporary Placement is ideal in situations involving: employee absences, temporary skill shortages, seasonal workloads, and special projects.

Temporary jobs can also lead to permanent placements.

A temp to perm job is a job that starts out as a temporary job but turns into a permanent position. 

The employee could be hired with the possibility of a temporary assignment turning into a permanent job. At some point during the assignment, the company may decide they would like the employee to stay on and offers him or her a permanent position.

A direct hire refers to a situation where a company who intends to hire a candidate offers them the job directly. 

As a direct hire involves action and investment from the hiring company, direct hires are usually made when filling permanent roles as opposed to a temporary or contract-to hire roles.
