Try and hire program
With our flexible try and hire process, you can test whether the temp or candidate is right for the job and your company before you decide on a permanent hire. This ensures you get the right person on board and avoid costly hiring mistakes.
What is a try and hire program?
A try and hire program is a smart way for the candidate or temp to start in a temporary position with the possibility of becoming a permanent employee. It gives both you and the employee the chance to try out the collaboration in practice.
This creates security for both parties as you can adjust expectations and requirements during the trial period before deciding on a long-term contract. You get the opportunity to see the employee in action in a real work situation, which makes it easier to make the right decision and avoid wrong hires.
Benefits of try and hire
With a try and hire program, you get several benefits that ensure an optimal recruitment process and get the right employee:
- You can test the employee before you decide on a permanent position.
- Clarify any uncertainties before making the final decision.
- Ensure fast and smooth onboarding into the company culture.
- Helping you find the right match that contributes optimally to your business.
- Reduce the risk of costly hiring mistakes.
- The candidate will also have the opportunity to get to know the company's values, work environment and expectations.
How try and hire works
- The process starts with a thorough conversation about your needs and a close dialog where we together map out your requirements and expectations for a new potential employee and assess what skills and qualifications are needed.
- Once the needs have been defined, the process of screening and selecting candidates with the right match continues. The focus is on identifying the most suitable candidates who not only have the right professional qualifications, but also fit well into the company environment.
- After the selection, the actual temping begins, which typically lasts between three and six months. During this period, both the company and the candidate have the opportunity to try out the collaboration in practice, giving a realistic assessment of whether there is a good match. The candidate gains insight into the company's workflows and values, while the company can evaluate the candidate's performance and chemistry with the team.
- When the trial period comes to an end, it is assessed whether the candidate should be offered a permanent position. This depends on whether both parties are satisfied with the collaboration and see long-term potential. If the candidate does not live up to expectations, the company is free to choose not to proceed with a permanent position at no additional cost.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a try and hire process take?
A try and hire program typically extends over a period of three to six months. It gives both you as an employer and the future employee enough time to evaluate the collaboration.
However, sometimes the process can be extended if both parties agree.
This time frame ensures that you have the opportunity to assess the candidate's qualifications and performance in a real-life context. At the same time, the potential new employee gets to experience the company culture and daily work environment.
What does a try and hire program cost?
The cost of a try and hire program varies depending on the type of position, the candidate's qualifications and the length of the trial period. In general, it's no more expensive than hiring a temp. We offer competitive rates that can be customized to your needs and budget. Contact us for a customized price based on your specific needs.
Is it possible to terminate the temp during the course?
Yes, it is possible to discontinue the collaboration during the process if, contrary to expectations, the candidate does not meet your requirements and wishes. This gives you security and flexibility, which helps minimize potential losses if the match is not right.
What is the difference between getting a temp and a try and hire program?
The difference between getting a temp and a try and hire program lies in the purpose. A temp is a qualified replacement who is hired for temporary tasks without the intention of permanent employment. A try and hire is a temporary assignment with the opportunity to assess the candidate with a view to a possible permanent position.
Are there any disadvantages to a try and hire program?
A try and hire program can have some disadvantages. Contrary to expectations, the candidate may not fit into the company culture after the trial period. There is also no guarantee that the candidate will want a permanent position after the trial period. Furthermore, the uncertainty of not having a permanent position from the start can affect the candidate. It's important to weigh these factors against the benefits when considering a try and hire program.
