FAQs
How long is a typical contract-to-hire period?
Contract-to-hire periods typically last from three to six months, but we customize durations based on your specific needs and the job requirements.
What’s the difference between contract-to-hire and direct hire recruiting?
Contract-to-hire staffing begins by placing employees in temporary positions with the potential to transition into permanent roles. Direct hire recruiting fills permanent positions immediately.
Do employees on contract receive benefits during the trial period?
Yes, employees typically receive benefits through our staffing agency during their contract period. Once converted to a permanent position, they become eligible for your company’s full benefits package.
Can I convert a contractor to a full-time employee before the contract ends?
Absolutely. If a contractor proves to be a great match early on, you can offer them a permanent position at any time during the contract period. We recommend discussing potential early conversions upfront, as it helps attract top candidates.
What does the transition process look like from contractor to permanent employee?
Once you decide to hire a contractor permanently, we’ll help facilitate a smooth transition onto your payroll, ensuring a seamless integration into your team.
