A practical “try before you hire” path to stronger permanent teams
Build your permanent team with people who have already demonstrated their attendance, productivity, commitment and fit in your workplace. ABL employs and supports the candidate during the trial period, then you can hire the proven performer directly.
Temp-to-hire combines the flexibility of temporary staffing with a planned path to permanent employment. The associate works on ABL’s payroll for an agreed period and is billed hourly. During that time, you can evaluate real on-the-job performance while ABL manages recruiting, onboarding, payroll and ongoing support. After the agreed transfer period, often 500 billed hours, the associate can move to your payroll without an additional conversion fee. The exact period is confirmed in your service agreement.
Evaluate reliability, productivity, skills and fit in your actual workplace.
Make a permanent decision using evidence from the assignment, not interviews alone.
Candidates understand the role and team before joining your payroll permanently.
Continue the assignment, convert the associate, or discuss another solution as needs change.
ABL manages attraction, screening, onboarding, payroll and associate support during the trial period.
Together we confirm the role, pay, shift, required skills, work environment, transfer period and measures of a successful hire.
ABL attracts, screens, interviews, onboards and prepares candidates, then coordinates the start on ABL payroll.

“ABL’s communication approach changed our experience with staffing firms. They prepare people properly, follow up after the shift and throughout the assignment, and that prevents constant turnover.”
“ABL’s employee-focused pricing gives us cost-effective productivity. Their temporary associates stay and are motivated, while the bill rate remains competitive.”
The transfer period is negotiated and confirmed in your service agreement. A common structure is 500 billed hours, after which the associate can be hired onto your payroll without an additional conversion fee.
Yes. ABL can discuss an accelerated hire option that allows an earlier transition with a defined graduated fee for the remaining period.
Most employers consider attendance, reliability, productivity, safety, learning speed, teamwork, communication and fit with the role and workplace. ABL can build regular feedback into the service plan.
Tell ABL promptly and share specific feedback. We can address coachable concerns, conclude the assignment when appropriate and discuss a replacement or a revised search strategy.
The associate remains on ABL payroll during the agreed evaluation period. ABL processes weekly payroll and applicable employer obligations and remittances while maintaining regular associate communication.
Add flexible people for peaks, projects, absences and changing demand.
