How Contract to Hire works

Define the role: We work with you to get clear on your position and the skills you need—so we can find just the right match.
Recruit and vet: We find talent that's just right for your needs and vet them through video interviews, portfolio reviews, and skills assessments—then present the top candidates to you.
Hire and onboard: All talent, regardless of engagement type, are evaluated against client-specific requirements and undergo thorough background checks. We have the infrastructure to support engagements that require work authorization. And we can provide equipment, credentialing, and seamlessly integrate our talent into your team.
Check fit on the job: We check in with you and your talent regularly to see how things are going, check performance against milestones, and identify any needs for further support.
Make a decision: We work with you and your talent to determine whether you want a long-term commitment. If everyone's game, we'll convert to a permanent placement.
