They don't keep you that way, but they do all the initial hiring that way. It's like a probabtionary period on steroids. They don't have to do any HR paperwork because the temp agency does it, and they don't have to do anything if they don't like you or don't think you can handle the job they just tell the temp agency not to send you back the next day.

From what the folks in our HR department tell me it's a preferred model from an HR standpoint because they basically get to audition a bunch of people on the actual job without making and commitment to them or having to do any work in the HR department, and since they are temp they can be let go without being sued or any risk of an allegation, true or not, of any kind of discrimination.
