From Temp to Permanent Management: Kelsey’s Story

Raise your hand if you’re currently not working in your college degree field. So often our career paths are not what we expect. And that’s not always a bad thing. After graduating from a state school with a recreational therapy degree, Kelsey Aslam found herself struggling to find a job in her field. As a newlywed in the process of buying a house, she knew she needed to find something—fast.

She connected with That’s Good HR in search of a temp position. She was paired up with Kate, one of our friendly, helpful recruiters. Kate led her step-by-step through the application and interview process. “I remember everything was just so easy with them [TGHR],” said Kelsey.

She interviewed with NextGear, a local inventory finance solutions company, and was quickly placed in a temp role. “The whole thing was really smooth,” said Kelsey. “There weren’t any issues and communication was so good between NextGear and TGHR the whole time.”

Two months later NextGear decided to hire Kelsey directly as a full-time employee. Two-and-a-half years later, Kelsey is now a hiring manager there who often reaches out to TGHR to bring in her own temps. “Some of my top people have been hired from TGHR as temp-to-perm and now they’ve converted over to full-time here. I love that TGHR is always seeking feedback and wanting to know how things are going,” said Kelsey.

At TGHR, we feel honored to come alongside people in their employment journeys. Making successful matches is what we do—and we love it. Are you ready for a new career? Take that next step and get in touch with us.
