What is Direct Hire?

Direct Hire is a recruitment process whereby the employer directly hires the candidates for permanent positions, without using temporary or contract-based roles. The result of such hiring is usually full integration into the organization, including the employee being given benefits and long-term job security. This form of hiring is common for those positions that require specific skills and in industries where they seek to invest in long-term employee relationships.
