About this template

The temp-to-hire model is one of the most effective ways for employers to reduce hiring risk — but only if the evaluation process is structured. Without a consistent framework, hire decisions often come down to gut feel or a single memorable incident rather than a balanced assessment across the full assignment period. A formal temp-to-hire evaluation form changes that.

This template prompts supervisors to rate workers across five key dimensions: job performance, attendance and punctuality, attitude and initiative, teamwork and collaboration, and technical skills. Each uses a clear 1–5 scale with descriptive anchors so ratings are comparable across supervisors and departments. The qualitative fields then capture the specific behaviors and incidents that support the rating — making the evaluation useful both for the hire decision and as a development document for the worker.

formformform makes it easy for staffing agencies to send this form to client supervisors at the end of an assignment period. There's no login required — supervisors click the link, fill out the evaluation, and submit. The agency receives the completed evaluation immediately, with all data organized and ready to support the placement conversation.

Best practices for your temp-to-hire evaluation form

Send the evaluation 1–2 weeks before the temp assignment ends

waiting until the last day leaves no time to address concerns or adjust the placement before a deadline.

Use the same form for all placements

consistency is what makes evaluations comparable across time and across clients, so resist the urge to customize for every engagement.

Follow up verbally after receiving the form

the evaluation data opens the conversation but a quick call with the supervisor often surfaces nuances that don't fit neatly in text fields.

Share ratings with the worker

when appropriate, providing feedback to the worker about their evaluation helps them grow and makes your agency a genuine career partner, not just a placement vendor.

Document evaluations for every placement, even negative ones

patterns of poor performance ratings across multiple clients are important data for your worker pool management.

Weight attendance heavily

supervisors often want to overlook reliability issues if the work quality is high, but chronic attendance problems rarely improve after conversion to permanent status.

Frequently asked questions

Who should fill out this evaluation — the supervisor or the HR department?

The direct supervisor who worked with the temp worker daily is the ideal evaluator. They have the most accurate view of day-to-day performance. HR can be involved in the hire decision conversation but may not have direct visibility into task-level performance.

Can I use this form for evaluating contractors who are not being considered for hire?

Yes. The form works well as a periodic performance check-in for any temporary or contract worker, regardless of whether a conversion to permanent hire is being considered.

How do I keep evaluations confidential from the worker?

The form is submitted directly to the staffing agency — the worker never sees the response unless you choose to share it. You control who has access to the submission data in your formformform dashboard.

Can I customize the rating categories for my industry?

Yes. You can edit, add, or remove rating categories to match the competencies most relevant to your placements — clinical skills for healthcare, code quality for software development, safety compliance for industrial settings.

Is there a way to collect evaluations from multiple supervisors for the same worker?

Yes. Multiple supervisors can fill out the same form — each submission is recorded separately in your dashboard. You can then compare ratings across respondents as part of a more comprehensive evaluation process.
