I was contacted by a recruiter about a job, and my resume was presented to the company. I interviewed but rejected the offer because it was a temp-to-hire position. As much as I like the job and the company, my family needs the benefit that comes with a permanent position.
A few days later I checked the company website and applied to the same job but in a permanent position. I don't mean to cheat on the recruiter, but now I'm a little worried. Have I hurt my chances by applying to the company directly?

I wouldn’t worry about cheating on the recruiter - they’re only in it for the referral fees. If you have applied and didn’t mention in your application why you’re applying directly for the permanent role then I’d suggest you contact the firm to explain. There’s nothing wrong in what you’re doing though. They might just be a bit confused at first.

Firstly you have done nothing wrong here. If you have already applied for the permanent position and didn’t mention in your application why you’re applying directly for the same role then I’d suggest you contact the firm to explain. They might be a bit confused at first and not make the connection having just offered you the temporary contract.
And don’t worry about the recruiter. They’re only in it for the referral fees so there’s nothing personal about it.
