Contract-to-Hire Staffing

Contract to hire is a short-term job that allows both, employer and employee parties to try out a role before committing to full-time employment. Also known as “temp to hire,” contract to hire agreements typically set out the length of time the contractor will work for the employer. At the end of this trial period, the employer can decide whether to hire the contractor as a full-time employee with benefits.

Contract-to-hire roles can give employees time to prove their value to a company and demonstrate to the employer why they would be a good long-term fit for the role. In this type of position, candidates can use their skills and knowledge to make a positive impact on the role, team and company as a whole during their short time there. When they have quantifiable or obvious contributions, they can use them to secure permanent employment.

Employers often use contract to hire as a way of doing a “working interview,” or testing out the fit between the potential employee and the company, which can result in making higher-quality hires. They can consider taking a contract-to-hire job while they negotiate your salary after receiving a formal offer. In this situation, they would act as part of the team in that capacity to showcase just how valuable an asset they are.
