The datasheet shows that the hFE is between 30 to 300 depending on the particular transistor (they are not all exactly the same), its temperature and on its amount of collector current. Your circuit needs a transistor with enough hFE for your design so the transistor can conduct between saturation and cutoff. If your design provides more base current when needed than the hFE number then the transistor can saturate very well.
Usually a voltage divider and an emitter resistor are used to properly bias the base of a transistor that has an hFE between 30 to 300, and it can operate well at different temperatures.
