I have had a bad experience before with a temp-to-perm job because I was not given the opportunity to interview the client beforehand. If I had known, I would not have taken the job as it turned out to be a short-term position covering someone on surgery for a few weeks.
However, this time I start a new temp-to-perm job tomorrow and I was able to interview with the client beforehand. I asked about the likelihood of the position becoming permanent and the controller, who is the only one in the accounting department, seemed transparent about it. The company is quite small with only 11-30 employees.
If I do well during the next 3 months, I am hoping to be converted to a full-time position. I am currently employed through the staffing agency, Randstad, and I am wondering what the process is like for being converted to full-time. Has anyone here had experience going from temp to perm? Is it an immediate switch, and would I have to go through a new onboarding process now that I am on the client's payroll?
