Because they are not required to offer benefits to temporary workers, companies can save a great deal of money by hiring temps.

选项 A、induction
B、introduction
C、intrusion
D、innovation
答案 B
解析 画线处和其后的不定式短语to get a foot in the door of“踏入……”并列，可知画线处表达“进入企业”之义，填入B项introduction“介绍，引见”意为“有些人通过临时工作，结识了内部人员，由他们引荐进入企业”，符合句意，接to也符合语法。induction作“入门；就职”之义时，后接into，故不选。intrusion“侵入，闯入”；innovation“创新”。
