Temp-to-
Perm.

Hire the proof, not the promise.

We only put Perm Track candidates forward — First Call workers who've told us they want a permanent role. A small deposit starts the search, one flat fee converts the one you keep, and the deposit comes straight off it. You get the time to assess properly — without the risk of getting a permanent hire wrong.

Tell us the role you want to fill permanently. We'll shortlist from Perm Track and set up the trial — one flat fee, agreed upfront.
How it works

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

01

A deposit starts the search

A small deposit gets the search under way. It's credited in full against the fee when you convert, and returned if you don't.

02

A Perm Track shortlist

We only put forward Perm Track candidates — First Call workers, proven on the job, who've told us they want a permanent role. You trial from a shortlist, not a gamble.

03

Trial on your own site

The worker starts through DSC on a casual basis, with payroll, super, WH&S and all employer obligations covered by us. Assess performance, reliability, attitude and fit in your real environment.

04

Convert with one flat fee

When you're confident, convert on your terms. One flat fee, agreed upfront, with the deposit already credited against it. DSC manages the transition.

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 lets you see the work before you commit.

2

Only proven candidates, put forward

Every candidate is on Perm Track — already graded on the job, and wanting a permanent role. A person can interview perfectly and still not fit; our shortlist has already shown up and performed.

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 and we put forward another Perm Track candidate. No redundancy, no HR process.

Trial period Typically 4–12 weeks
During trial All obligations covered by DSC
Conversion fee One flat fee — deposit credited

Obligation to convert None — your call entirely
Transparent process

One simple fee. Everything agreed upfront.

The casual labour hire rate applies during the trial. A small deposit starts the search. If you convert, you pay one flat fee — agreed before the arrangement starts — with the deposit credited against it.

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