If you’re interested in a full-time position with benefits like health insurance, vacation time, and sick leave, you’re probably looking for a direct-hire job. Direct-hire positions can be harder to find than other types of work, including part-time or temporary jobs and contract work. A CareerBuilder survey reported that 40% of employers planned on hiring full-time workers in 2019, compared to 47% for part-time and contract workers.
Direct hires are among the most desirable types of positions. That’s because you’ll be working directly for your employer in a full-time permanent capacity with employee benefits. These benefits may include health insurance, paid leave, investment and retirement options, and wellness benefits.
Even though direct-hire jobs may not be the easiest to find, there are ways you can optimize your job search to tap into companies that hire directly. Here’s a quick guide to direct hiring, how it differs from other types of recruiting, and tips for successfully landing a job as a direct hire.
