Meeting today’s needs while planning for tomorrow
When staffing challenges arise, printing companies often need fast solutions—but that doesn’t mean they should settle for short-term thinking. Term to permanent placement offers a strategic path forward. It allows businesses to fill urgent roles while evaluating long-term fit, reducing hiring risk and improving team continuity. In a tight labour market, this approach is proving especially valuable across the print and packaging sectors.
Why term placements work in the print industry
From pressroom to production office, the need for skilled, adaptable talent is constant. Whether it’s a production supervisor, account manager, or plant operator, term placements give employers the flexibility to:
- Maintain productivity during peak periods or staff absences.
- Test job fit before offering permanent roles.
- Accelerate onboarding for project-specific roles.
- Access experienced professionals without long-term commitment.
This model is particularly effective for companies undergoing change, scaling up, or adjusting to evolving workflows and customer needs.
How term to permanent placement supports recruitment strategy
At Connecting for Results, we work closely with print industry employers to structure flexible staffing arrangements. Our term to permanent placement model begins with a professional match based on technical fit and cultural alignment. During the term phase, both the company and candidate can evaluate compatibility. If the role is successful and the business need continues, the candidate can be offered a permanent position with confidence.
This approach minimizes costly hiring missteps, shortens recruitment cycles, and increases employee retention—making it a cornerstone of a sound recruitment strategy.
Building a long-term talent pipeline
Term-to-perm strategies are more than temporary fixes. They support a broader talent management vision—especially when integrated with CFR’s services in succession planning, new manager coaching, and organizational design. For many clients, what begins as a short-term assignment becomes a long-term solution, with the right candidate developing into a team leader or key contributor.
Our industry-specific focus ensures we bring forward candidates with relevant experience in print industry talent pipelines—ready to deliver results from day one.
