Contract-to-Hire
Try before you commit with our flexible contract-to-hire IT staffing solutions
Evaluate Before Committing
Our contract-to-hire model allows you to work with IT professionals on a contract basis with the option to convert them to full-time employees. This approach reduces hiring risks and ensures a good fit before making a permanent commitment.
How Contract-to-Hire Works
Initial Contract
We place a qualified IT professional with your team on a contract basis, typically for 3-6 months.
During this period, they work as a contractor through Steel Horizon Solutions, with all administrative aspects handled by us.
Evaluation Period
You evaluate the contractor's performance, technical skills, and cultural fit with your team in real work scenarios.
We provide regular check-ins and support throughout the contract period to ensure satisfaction.
Conversion Decision
At the end of the contract period, you can choose to convert the contractor to a full-time employee.
If the fit isn't right, the contract simply ends with no further obligation or conversion fees.
