What Does
Direct Hire Mean?

Direct hire means we recruit candidates who become your permanent employees from the start. There’s no temp period or trial phase. We handle all the sourcing, screening, and interviews.

You make the final hiring decision. The employee joins your team immediately with full commitment, payroll responsibility, and long-term employment expectations already in place.

Why Direct Hire Is Your Best Staffing Solution

Direct hire staffing gives you faster access to qualified candidates, long-term workforce stability, and better hiring outcomes. The Advance Group helps you place skilled professionals directly on your payroll.

Low Turnover, Better Fit

We recruit based on long-term compatibility, not just immediate availability. You hire employees who match your job requirements and work culture, for stronger performance.

Faster Hiring Timelines

We reduce time-to-fill by sourcing candidates who are already vetted and ready to start. You avoid job board delays, missed interviews, and other roadblocks that slow down direct hiring.

Full Payroll Control

With direct hire, employees join your payroll from day one. You maintain full control over benefits, pay structure, and workplace policies without third-party restrictions or limitations.

Higher Commitment

Direct hire attracts professionals seeking long-term roles, not temporary work. You benefit from stronger loyalty, greater accountability, and a higher level of engagement from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Direct Hire Recruiting

Does direct hire mean permanent?

Yes, direct hire means permanent placement. We recruit candidates who join your team as full-time employees from day one. They’re on your payroll immediately, so you’re not waiting through a probationary period like with temp to hire placements.

What is the difference between direct hire and temp to hire?

With direct hire, we place the candidate on your payroll from day one. Temp to hire starts with a trial period where the worker is on our payroll first, then moves to yours if the fit is right.

What is the difference between recruiter and direct hire?

A recruiter finds candidates for your open roles, but direct hire is the process we use to place them directly on your payroll. We handle recruiting, screening, and interviews, then you hire the right person as a full-time employee.

How long does the direct hire process typically take?

The direct hire process usually takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. It depends on the role, your feedback, and candidate availability. We move quickly but carefully to find the right fit without dragging out the process.
