Contract-to-hire (also known as temp-to-hire or temp-to-perm) is a hiring model in which a professional begins working with your company through The Flock. During the initial engagement, the professional becomes part of your team and works under your direction while The Flock engages them as a contractor and manages the contractual relationship.
The Flock
Engages the professional as a contractor and manages the contractual relationship during the initial engagement.
Your company
At the agreed stage, evaluates the experience and decides whether to convert the engagement into a direct and permanent hire, with the professional joining its own payroll.
Evaluate the fit within the role, the team and the actual working context.
A contract-to-hire engagement gives your company direct evidence of how the professional performs once they are doing the job.
That experience provides stronger information for deciding whether the professional should become a permanent member of the company.
