Here is one testimonial from a satisfied client in Washington, D.C. with whom our temp agency has worked for decades:
“I have to say I absolutely LOVE Whitman! My company only uses temps from Whitman unless it’s a specialty such as IT and then we will go elsewhere. Many of our full-time employees came to us through Whitman Associates and I have never heard any of them say anything negative about the company. I handle all the temp needs and new hires where I work and deal with Julie exclusively (others if she’s on vacation). She has contacted me when she’s on the way home, or after she gets home…her commitment doesn’t stop when she walks out of that door on I St. NW. I have never known Julie (or anyone else from there) to be anything but professional.”

Building Stronger Employee Relationships with Temp to Hire Staffing
Temp-to-hire staffing is not just a method of filling positions quickly, but rather a strategic approach to building stronger, more meaningful employee relationships. A trusted temp agency can help Washington, D.C. area companies build an environment of mutual trust, collaboration and a long -term commitment between employers and employees.
The most significant benefit of temp-to-hire services is that it allows employers to get to know the candidate before offering them a permanent job. The rapport developed during the temporary period and insight into working styles can determine whether the candidate is aligned with the company’s values and goals. This extended interaction helps foster a deeper connection and builds trust, paving the way for a more positive and productive work environment once the hire becomes permanent.
This affords employees a gradual acclimation to the company culture, expectations and team dynamics without the initial pressures of commitment. This more gradual onboarding process allows workers to feel cared for and appreciated, which typically results in a higher level of job satisfaction. Employees who relate to their organizations and colleagues will be more likely to stay engaged and motivated, which may result in better performance and reduced turnover.
For employers, a temp-to-hire agency also enables managers to give real-time feedback and coaching during the trial period, thereby helping employees grow into their roles. By the time a candidate from our agency transitions to a permanent position, they are already familiar with the team and have developed strong relationships, ensuring smoother integration.
