How is temporary-to-hire different from temporary staffing?

Temporary staffing is designed to fill short-term workforce needs, such as seasonal demand, vacations, or special projects. Temporary-to-hire staffing is intended for employers who expect the role to become permanent after a successful evaluation period.
