Temp to hire staffing in Phoenix

Temp to hire lets you and the candidate try each other out before anyone makes a 100% commitment. It is what we call a win-win.

Temp to hire staffing in Phoenix for accounting teams

Temp to hire staffing places a screened accounting or finance professional with your team on our payroll first, so both sides can judge the fit before anyone commits. If the work and the culture line up, you convert them to your own payroll. Accounting & Finance Professionals has run these placements for Phoenix employers since 1999.

It suits roles where a wrong permanent hire would be expensive to undo: staff and senior accountants, bookkeepers, accounts payable and receivable, payroll specialists, credit and collections, accounting managers and controllers. We staff Phoenix, Scottsdale, Chandler, Mesa, Tempe, Peoria and the surrounding metro, and we have often met 10 to 20 people before presenting the one we think fits.

If you only need coverage for a defined stretch, temporary hire is simpler. If the seat is permanent and you want to search quietly, look at direct hire, or talk to a recruiter about which one fits.

How temp to hire works

Three steps, and the decision stays yours.

Tell us what you need

We learn the role, the team and the culture, then agree what the trial looks like and what it takes to convert. Every placement is different, so we quote yours before we start.

We screen and present

Sometimes we meet 10 to 20 people before we present one. Each has sat down with a recruiter, cleared supervisory level references and been screened for the skills your role needs.

You decide on the job

The real interview is the first few days. Watch the work, watch the fit, and convert when you are ready. By then they are trained and you know they are reliable.

When temp to hire fits

  • The role is new and you want to confirm the need
  • A hiring mistake here would be costly to undo
  • The resume looks right and you would rather see the work
  • You want the candidate to test your culture too
  • Headcount is not approved yet but the work is here
  • Your last hire in this seat did not last

What every placement includes

  • The same screening every AFP candidate goes through
  • They stay on our payroll through the trial
  • A call on day one and regular check ins after
  • Honest feedback in both directions
  • No obligation to convert
  • Replacement support if the fit is not right

Temp to hire questions

The four we hear most from business clients.

That is up to you. Many of our business clients skip it, because we have often met 10 to 20 people before we present the one we think fits. The interview really is the first few days on the job, and that is where you will know. Ask us about our 8 hour guarantee.

We set that expectation with you when we take the job order, along with everything else that goes into the rate. Every placement is different, so we work it out with you rather than from a rate sheet. When you are ready, call your recruiter and we will handle the transition with the candidate.

You pay one bill rate while the trial runs, and that rate encompasses all costs. Set it against what a wrong permanent hire costs you in salary, lost time and a second search. Adding new employees is risky and time consuming, and this is the option that lets you see the work first.

Then you do not. That is the point of temp to hire, and neither side has made a 100% commitment. Tell your recruiter what was missing and we will make sure we find a valued replacement.
