Contract to Hire/Temp to Perm
This is a 'try it before you buy it' opportunity. Contract to Hire employment is similar to Contracting in that the person you retain is not an employee of record. The big difference is that as the employer, you are actually looking for a long-term, full time employee. There is a clearly defined time frame, which all parties understand up front.

A contract to hire is like a six month interview. All parties recognize up front that the employee will be hired if there is a good fit. You might advantage of the Contract to Hire option when you need to evaluate:

• Entry level prospects who have no work experience
• Unemployed or laid off prospects
• Prospects from diverse backgrounds

This is an option that gives you the opportunity to find the right people without the risk associated with full time employees.
