At Specialized Recruiting Group, we offer a variety of workforce solutions catered to your organization’s specific needs. In this article, you can find information about Contract Hire, Direct Hire, and our Engaged Search services. For more information or any questions about these services and if they are right for your unique workforce requirements, please do not hesitate to connect with our team.

Contract Hire

A contract hiring process bears similarities to the direct hiring process, however there is less up-front commitment required from our clients. Instead of the candidate beginning employment on our client’s payroll, they are retained on Specialized Recruiting Group’s payroll for the duration of the contract. A contract hire offers more flexibility to our clients, as they can choose to hire the candidate directly at the end of the contract or decide not to move forward. Contract term lengths vary greatly and depend primarily on the needs our clients.

Main benefits of a Contract Hire:

Candidate assessment

With a contract hire, our clients can observe the candidate in their working environment and make a highly informed decision about whether to hire them permanently. This means there is less risk from our client’s perspective, but also gives our candidates an opportunity to assess their own fit with the work environment, lowering the possibility of them being a wrong fit down the line.

Flexibility for uncertain timelines

Contract hires work well for clients experiencing uncertainty surrounding how much work there will be, or what the timeline surrounding certain projects will be. Contract placements allow our clients to fill the current needs in their organizations, with the option to keep them full time should the demand for their role continue.

Direct Hire

In a direct hiring process, Specialized Recruiting Group will find, qualify, and hire permanent team members on behalf of our clients. Direct hire positions are usually full-time roles. They benefit our clients by saving them time, money, and other resources in the recruitment process. Our dedicated employment specialists undertake a thorough candidate vetting process that ensures the best fit for the role. In this streamlined process, the candidate becomes our client's employee as soon as they are presented and accepted.

Main benefits of a Direct Hire:

Time efficient

Specialized Recruiting Group has access to candidate pools, market data, and engaged search capabilities that allow us to attract passive candidates that would otherwise not be searching for new opportunities. With over 18 years of experience, we can help fill positions quickly and help keep productivity high.

Attracts top talent

Most professionals seek long-term permanent positions that they can grow in. Permanent positions offer job security, making them attractive to top level talent. Additionally, permanent roles are attractive as new employees feel welcomed as part of the team right away.

Engaged Search: Our Enhanced Service Offering

Priority, attention, and care

When it comes to finding new hires, there are generally two search approaches, Contingent Search and Engaged Search. Contingent search, or passive search, involves putting out a job advertisement and waiting for applications to come in. Contingent Search usually finds the transient employees who are always job hunting.

Engaged Search, on the other hand, provides access to the passive candidate market that makes up roughly 80% of job seekers. Those who, if presented with the right opportunity, would look at making a move. Our team finds those individuals and starts those conversations. Working with engaged employees means we are continuously finding A players who are great at what they do, want to work, and who would be an asset to any organization. We call this approach Engaged Search, because our recruiters actively source, contact, and qualify candidates through a variety of channels and assets that we have access to.

Specialized Recruiting Group’s Engaged Search Model provides a different level of service. We are uniquely equipped to help you find the highly skilled talent for your business needs. We invest in advanced training on the latest technologies and techniques to identify and recruit top-level candidates and take a proactive approach with dedicated specialists who recruit active and passive talent. Our specialized recruiting methodologies allow us to attract a level of talent our competitors can’t match. Because of our dedicated focus on highly specialized professionals, we not only seek out top talent; they also seek us.
