Contract-to-hire, the term that is becoming more common

These days, we see a growing number of temporary employment agencies, staffing agencies, and recruitment firms using the contract-to-hire construction. What does this construction entail, and what are the benefits?

What does it stand for?

In a contract-to-hire construction, also known as a “secondment agreement with takeover,” a professional starts working at the client company for a pre-agreed secondment period. After this period, the client has the option to hire the professional without incurring additional costs. This means that you have ample opportunity to get to know the skills and abilities of the professional before making a long-term commitment.

What are the benefits?

Working with the contract-to-hire construction offers several advantages:

For the client company, the benefits include:

-Clear agreements in advance about the takeover period and associated costs (also known as a fee).

-No employer’s risks during the secondment period before the takeover.

-An additional influx of new professionals without the need for continuous searching.

-More time to evaluate the professional during the secondment period.

-Lower recruitment costs.

For the professional, the benefits include:

-Knowing in advance the path from being seconded to obtaining a permanent position.

-Comprehensive guidance and support from G-Nius during the secondment period, including personal and professional development assistance where necessary.
