How it works

Three steps to a permanent hire you can be confident in.

01

Trial period on a casual basis

The worker is placed through DSC on a casual arrangement. All payroll, super, WH&S and employer obligations are covered by DSC throughout the trial — you have no employment liability during this period.

02

You assess on your own site

Work alongside them in your real environment. Evaluate their performance, reliability, attitude, and fit with your team — with full visibility and no obligation to convert if it's not working out.

03

Convert when you're confident

When you're satisfied — convert to permanent employment on your terms. DSC manages the transition and the conversion fee has already been agreed upfront, so there are no surprises.

Why employers choose temp-to-perm

Because getting a permanent hire wrong is expensive.

1

You can't afford to get it wrong

A bad permanent hire costs months of salary, productivity loss, and the disruption of managing them out. Temp-to-perm removes that risk entirely.

2

CVs don't tell you culture fit

A person can interview perfectly and still not belong on your site or in your team. There is no substitute for watching someone work in your environment.

3

The role is filled while you assess

Unlike a long recruitment process, the worker is contributing from day one — producing value while you make the decision at your own pace.

4

No obligation to convert

If they don't work out, the arrangement ends. We find another candidate. You've lost nothing but trial time — no redundancy, no HR process.

Trial period Typically 4–12 weeks
During trial All obligations covered by DSC
Conversion fee Agreed upfront — no surprises
If trial fails We find another candidate
Obligation to convert None — your call entirely
Industries All DSC industries available
Transparent process

No hidden fees. Everything agreed upfront.

DSC is transparent about how temp-to-perm works commercially. The casual labour hire rate applies during the trial period. The conversion fee — if you choose to hire permanently — is discussed and agreed before the arrangement starts.

There are no surprises. If the trial doesn't work out, you owe nothing beyond the casual hours worked. If it does — you gain a permanent employee you already know can do the job.

What you pay — at a glance
During trial period Standard casual labour hire rate
Conversion fee Agreed upfront before trial begins
If no conversion Nothing — casual hours only
Payroll & compliance Fully covered by DSC throughout
Obligation to convert None — entirely your decision
