Contract

Contract-to-hire means the employee is placed in a short-term position for a set period of time, with the possibility of being hired full-time when the contract ends. The short contractual roles allow both employer and employee the opportunity of a trial period before committing to full-time employment. A contract-to-hire employee is technically employed by the staffing agency but is under contract to work for the client company. In contract to hire, a staffing agency fills in the positions and handles most of the front-end recruiting tasks like sourcing candidates, reviewing resumes and shortlisting candidates.
