Direct Hire

Direct hire is permanent placement: the person joins your payroll from day one. It is the right model when you already know the seat is permanent and you want the right person in it, not the most applicants.

When direct hire makes sense

• The role is permanent and already defined.
• The seat matters to the team, a client or a project, so a wrong hire is expensive.
• The strongest candidates are already employed and are not applying to postings.
• You want someone who will be part of the business long term.

How a direct hire search works

1. We get specific before we get busy. We learn the role, the culture, the constraints and what success actually looks like. Sometimes the candidate isn’t the problem. The role is, and we will tell you.

2. We recruit, not just search. The strongest candidate may never apply, so we go to people who are doing the work today.

3. You meet people worth meeting. We don’t send stacks. Candidates are screened for the role, the team and the reason the seat matters, and arrive interview-ready.

4. Straight feedback and clear communication. You know where the search stands, what the market is telling us, and what the role will actually take.

Not the right fit?

If you want to see the work before making an offer, look at contract-to-hire. If the work has an end date, contract staffing fits better. For senior leadership seats, see executive search. For how the models compare, read contract vs. direct hire.
