Contract-to-hire means a candidate is placed in a short-term position for a set period of time, with the possibility of being hired as a full-time, if it is found that the contractor is a good fit for the role based on skills, experience, and career goals, a permanent offer should be made. Contract-to-hire positions should not be confused with independent contractors who are self-employed. A contract-to-hire employee is still under contract to work for a company, but is technically employed by the staffing agency that recruited them. This type of arrangement benefits candidates during a recovery cycle and even during good times. RS HR SOLUTION provides our customers the option of hiring the candidate after an initial 3-6 months on contract. During this period, our clients have the opportunity to review the candidate’s core skill level as well as ‘on-the-job’ interpersonal and presentation skills prior to making a hiring commitment.
