How Contract-to-Hire works with us
Interviews show how someone talks about work. A few months on the job shows how they actually do it. Contract-to-hire lets you bring a developer, tester or cloud engineer onto your team on a contract basis, see their output, collaboration and fit firsthand, and then make a permanent offer when you are confident.
During the contract period the professional is on our payroll and we manage employment, compliance and administration. When you decide to convert, a one-time conversion fee, calculated as a pre-agreed percentage of the annual CTC, applies. The terms are written into the agreement on day one, so there are no surprises at the decision point.

A clear path, step by step
- 01
Define the role and path
We agree the role, the evaluation period (commonly 3–6 months), the expected permanent CTC and the conversion fee.
- 02
Shortlist and select
Screened candidates who are open to conversion. You interview and choose.
- 03
Contract period
The professional works on your team while we handle payroll and compliance. Your account manager runs check-ins at 30, 60 and 90 days.
- 04
Decide
Convert to your payroll, extend the contract, or end the engagement with agreed notice. The choice is yours.
- 05
Smooth transition
We coordinate offer paperwork, handover of records and the move to your HR systems.
When contract-to-hire fits
- Roles where culture and team fit matter as much as skills
- First hires in a new tech stack or a new office
- Companies with strict permanent headcount approval cycles
- Candidates whose experience is strong but non-traditional
Handled end to end
- Screening for both skills and openness to permanent roles
- Contract employment, payroll and statutory handling
- Structured 30/60/90-day feedback check-ins
- Clear, pre-agreed conversion terms and fee
- Offer and transition coordination on conversion

Why teams choose this model
Lower hiring risk: decide based on real output, not a single interview loop
Productive capacity from week one while you evaluate
Conversion fee agreed in writing before the engagement starts
Payroll and compliance covered during the contract period
Candidates know conversion is on the table, which supports commitment
Pick contract-to-hire when you expect to hire permanently but want proof first. If you are already certain, permanent placement is usually more cost-effective.
