Direct Hire

A Basic Direct Hire Definition

Essentially, direct hire staffing means that a professional staffing agency will handle numerous front-end recruiting tasks on behalf of the client — such as sourcing and reviewing resumes as well as screening and qualifying candidates. After deciding which candidates to pass along, the client performs final interviews and makes the hiring decision with support and guidance from the staffing agency if needed. Once an offer has been made and accepted, the newly hired employee will go straight onto the client’s payroll.

The Direct Hire Process: Determining if Direct Hire Staffing is Right for Your Business

When hiring for a new position or filling a vacant one, organizations can choose one of three main ways to do so with a staffing agency:

  • Direct hire (which can also be referred to as direct placement),
  • Contract-to-hire, or
  • Contract or temporary hire.
The first step is to identify which staffing method is best for your business and its needs. There are pros and cons to direct hire staffing which should be considered before making this decision, and agreed upon with buy-in from key hiring and management decision-makers in your organization. Once you’ve determined that you want to leverage direct hire staffing, your staffing agency partner can get the recruiting process underway.
