Contracting Hiring

Contracting to Hire with Searchforce

Although not as commonplace as permanent recruitment or your standard contract work, contracting to hire is a long established means of using a temporary position with the aim of converting candidates to permanent staff further down the road.

There are distinct advantages to this approach, these being the opportunity to vet or ‘try out’ candidates on site in the prospective position, for an agreed period of time before offering them a full time position. Alongside this is the agility in being able to fill positions quickly and therefore able to support short to medium term internal requirements whilst having the time to assess and if necessary make changes to the position and/or person performing the role.

Essentially the appeal and the opportunity to make cost savings using contract to hire as opposed to taking on permanent hires at first, and being able to gauge the prospective employee’s work ethic and cultural fit within your organization before extending an offer of permanent employment, is very attractive to many employers.

Filling the skills gaps

If you have an urgent project or perhaps no budget for permanent hires in the short term, this could be a great solution for you. The ability to hire quickly without the need for much onboarding, training, legal or other administrative requirements is a very attractive proposition for many an organization in today's climate.
