Contract-to-hire means a worker starts as an agency contractor with an option to convert to permanent after a trial, typically 90–180 days. Conversion is not guaranteed. Direct hiremeans your permanent employee from day one: full benefits, employment protections, no conversion risk. GlobalCybers' 90-day written replacement guarantee makes direct hire as safe as, or safer than, contract-to-hire for trade roles.
Contract-to-hire vs direct hire for trade workers
FAQ
What is contract-to-hire in construction staffing?
Contract-to-hire means a worker is employed through a staffing agency on a temporary contract basis with an option of direct employment after a trial period. Workers are not the employer's direct employees during the contract phase. GlobalCybers does not offer contract-to-hire, every placement is permanent direct hire from day one.
Is direct hire better than contract-to-hire for trade workers?
Yes. Direct hire is better for trade workers because they receive full employer benefits, FMLA protection, and confirmed job security from day one, no trial uncertainty. The GlobalCybers 90-day replacement guarantee delivers the risk management benefit of a trial period without its drawbacks.
Does GlobalCybers offer contract-to-hire placement?
No. GlobalCybers exclusively provides permanent direct hire placement. No contract-to-hire, no temp-to-hire, no agency employment model. Workers are your direct employees from day one, no agency employment phase, no contract period, no conversion required.
How does the 90-day guarantee replace a contract trial?
If the candidate leaves or is terminated for performance within 90 days, GlobalCybers replaces them at no additional charge. This achieves the same risk management goal, without the benefits gap, employment law complexity, or conversion cost.
