High quality business support and sales professionals on demand

Welcoming a new team member is a pivotal moment, and the contract-to-hire model offers a thoughtful approach. It allows both the employer and the candidate to explore the partnership, ensuring alignment in values, skills, and culture before making a long-term commitment.

Bringing in additional resource to any team requires thought, internal discussions, and budget sign-off. Sometimes having an interim alternative can allow a business to tackle immediate challenges without committing to a long-term solution. 

Some of the main reasons why we see businesses bringing in interim talent include:

What is contract-to-hire staffing?

Contract-to-hire is a hiring arrangement where an employee works on a temporary contract for a set period, with the potential to be hired permanently based on performance and fit.

How long does the contract period typically last?

The duration varies, but it’s commonly between three to six months. Some contracts may extend depending on project needs or evaluation timelines.

What are the benefits for employees?

Employers can evaluate a candidate’s skills, work ethic, and cultural fit before making a long-term commitment, reducing the risk of a bad hire.

Is the employee considered part of the company during the contract period?

Typically, the employee is on the staffing agency’s payroll and not considered a direct employee of the company until officially hired.

Do contract-to-hire employees receive benefits?

Benefits depend on the staffing agency. Some agencies offer limited benefits during the contract period, while full company benefits begin after permanent hire.

Can a contract-to-hire role end without a permanent offer?

Yes. If the role or candidate isn’t a good fit, either party can choose not to proceed with a permanent offer at the end of the contract.

Is contract-to-hire suitable for all industries?

It’s especially common in tech, marketing, finance, and healthcare, but can be adapted to many sectors depending on the nature of the role.

How does contract-to-hire differ from temporary staffing?

Temporary staffing is short-term with no expectation of permanent employment, while contract-to-hire includes the possibility of transitioning to a full-time role.

What should businesses look for in a staffing partner for contract-to-hire?

Look for agencies with strong vetting processes, industry expertise, and a clear understanding of your company’s culture and hiring goals.
