What’s the difference between contract to hire and direct hire?
The real question is the difference between staffing and recruiting and who will be holding the candidate on their payroll. Staffing refers to hiring candidates on the agency’s payroll for a contract period. Staffing can be a short term position or a full time position. Recruiting refers to helping a client company find, screen, and hire candidates for the client company’s open position. Recruiting is full time employment. Simply put, staffing is contract and contract to hire. Recruiting is direct hire.
What are the similarities between the two?
- Employers are looking for a good fit for their position
- Job seekers are still highly valued and desirable
- Staffing agencies want the best option for both the candidate and the company
