Contract to Hire

Contract-to-hire enables our clients to fill a full-time position after an on-the-job performance evaluation. It is an intermediate staffing solution where a candidate is employed temporarily with an intention to be absorbed into a permanent role after evaluating his/ her skills and capabilities for a specific period. As an employer, you get tremendous flexibility in terms of monitoring the work performance of a consultant before making a formal offer of employment.

DataType’s Contract-to-Hire solutions provide our customers the option of hiring the candidate after an initial 3-6 months on contract. During the initial engagement, our clients have the opportunity to review the candidate’s core skill level as well as ‘on-the-job’ interpersonal and presentation skills prior to making a hiring commitment.

Contract-to-Hire Solutions are offered on an hourly bill rate for the contract period which is valid till the date the consultant gets into regular employment with the company. It may also be driven by the minimum number of hours that the consultant must work as a DataType Consultant prior to conversion. Finally, DataType receives a conversion fee once the consultant is converted to regular employee status with the company.

At DataType, the process for candidate interviews, screening, and recruitment is similar to that for a temporary employee; however, the candidate will have a long-term goal, interest, and involvement in the company. DataType is an employee-centric company and makes investments in developing core as well as soft skills of a candidate to have smooth sailing for a consultant from being a contract resource to a hired resource.

This involves:
  • Regular training during the pre-contract period
  • Focused on-demand technical training
  • Constant up-gradation of soft skills
  • Regular performance reviews
  • Orientation programs on future technology trends
  • Access to DataType’s intranet for knowledge sharing
