Temporary Office Staff and Temp-to-Perm Staffing That Delivers From Day One
Temporary office staff are candidates hired for short-term or open-ended office roles, with the option to convert to permanent employees if the fit is right. TSM Agency is a national temp-to-perm staffing agency that places temporary office staff and office support staff into administrative, reception, executive assistant, sales, marketing, and customer service roles. Our office staffing candidates are drawn from a national database of over 20,000 models, many of whom are college graduates doing part-time promotional work while actively seeking full or part-time office positions.
TSM Agency is not a typical staffing agency. Our office staff candidates are confident, polished, experienced at representing companies in high-stakes environments, and trained by promotional and corporate event work to learn new systems fast. Models are unfairly labeled as unintelligent, but trade show modeling requires a strong work ethic, selling skills, communication skills, and confidence. Those are the same attributes most office positions require. TSM Agency serves companies where image is as important as abilities.

Why Our Clients & Models Trust Us

I had to take the time to post this review. Simply stated, the TSM Agency is the best model staffing agency we have ever worked with. Our account executive, Caryn, was prompt and professional. We only had two days to staff two models. We came to an agreement and had our models in the same day I initially contacted them.

The TSM Agency is our go to model staffing company. Our account executive is so easy to work with and knows the industry inside and out. But what really separates TSM from the other companies we have worked with in the past are their models. TSM Agency trade show models are just the best. When you talk to the girls you can tell TSM treats them well and that they are very loyal to the agency. The girls always come prepared and on time. They are a joy to work with and their smiles are infectious! I can’t say enough. It makes me very happy to see our competitors enviously looking at us because our trade show models are doing such a great job and our booth is always packed.

Keila and Kirsten were exactly what we were looking for from our trade show models. For our previous show we flew a couple of employees to work the show and, no offense to them, we will never do that again. Professional models were far better at generating leads for us; the entire reason we did this event is Las Vegas. Our models were well prepared, dressed professionally, kept up an amazing energy during every day of the show and help us demo our products. Caryn, our TSM Agency account executive, did an amazing job and provided the perfect models.

Thank you TSM Agency! We have never received so many leads as we did this year at the World of Concrete Show. Our models were great and we want to staff the same girls next year. They performed above and beyond our expectations. Thank you TSM!

Frequently Asked Questions: Temporary Office Staff and Temp-to-Perm Staffing
Temporary office staffing rates vary by role, market, and engagement length. Short-term administrative coverage is typically billed hourly, while temp-to-perm placements include a conversion fee when the role transitions to a direct hire. Contact TSM Agency for a customized office staffing quote based on the position, seniority, and duration.
Temp-to-perm office staffing places a qualified candidate in your office on a temporary basis with an agreed option to convert to a direct-hire employee after a trial period. This lets you evaluate fit, work ethic, and cultural match on the job before committing to a full-time offer. TSM Agency handles sourcing, vetting, reference checks, and payroll during the temp period, transitioning administration to your company when the conversion takes place.
Temp, temp-to-perm, and direct-hire are three distinct office staffing models. A temp placement fills a short-term or seasonal need with a TSM Agency-employed worker for a defined period. A temp-to-perm placement starts the same way but includes an agreed path for your company to convert the worker to a direct hire after a trial. A direct hire places a candidate as your employee from day one, with TSM Agency handling sourcing and placement. The right choice depends on urgency, budget, and how confident you are about the long-term need.
TSM Agency staffs administrative assistants, executive assistants, receptionists, front-desk coordinators, office managers, data entry specialists, customer service representatives, accounts payable and receivable clerks, marketing coordinators, HR coordinators, and other corporate support roles. Candidates are vetted for skill fit, software proficiency, and professional references.
Urgent placements can be filled within 24 to 72 hours for most administrative roles in major markets. Specialized roles, senior administrative support, or remote locations typically require 3 to 10 business days for a proper candidate match. Faster timing is possible with flexibility on candidate criteria.
Yes. TSM Agency provides candidate resumes, references, and skill assessments before any placement. For temp-to-perm roles, standard practice is a phone or video interview before the start date so you can confirm fit before the temp period begins.
Yes. TSM Agency staffs local office workers in Las Vegas, Nashville, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and other major markets, with availability across 25 or more U.S. cities. Local candidates reduce onboarding time and commute friction.
Yes. TSM Agency carries general liability insurance and employs temp workers as W-2 employees during the temp period, handling payroll taxes, workers’ compensation, and employer-side obligations. This protects client companies from the misclassification risk that can come with hiring temp workers directly as independent contractors.
TSM Agency provides a replacement candidate at no extra cost if the placed worker doesn’t meet expectations during the trial period. Feedback from your team drives the replacement candidate profile so the second match is sharper than the first.
Yes. TSM Agency places bilingual office staff in Spanish, Mandarin, French, and other languages for client service roles, front-desk positions, and corporate support functions serving multilingual customer bases or international teams.
Yes. Every temp-to-perm engagement includes an agreed conversion path with the conversion fee structured based on salary, temp hours already worked, and timing of the conversion. Fees are disclosed in the staffing agreement up front so there are no surprises at conversion time.
Temp-to-perm lets you evaluate candidates on the job rather than only in interviews, which catches cultural fit, work pace, and practical skill issues that resumes and interviews miss. This materially reduces turnover costs, which industry research consistently places between 50% and 200% of annual salary for a bad hire. The trial period functions as a structured risk reduction step.
Apply through the TSM Agency talent application. Office staffing applicants should submit a current resume, cover letter or professional summary, references, software proficiency list (Microsoft Office, QuickBooks, Salesforce, etc.), language skills, and availability. Approved candidates are contacted about temp, temp-to-perm, and direct-hire opportunities in their market.
Clients choose TSM Agency for office staffing because the same vetting discipline applied to event talent since 2005 translates directly to corporate roles, with background checks, reference verification, and skill assessment built into every placement. TSM Agency is rated 5.0 stars on Google.
