Contract-to-Hire from Outsized
Rapid, flexible hiring – without the risk
With Contract-to-Hire, you get proven, highly qualified talent into your teams in days or weeks, not months.
They’ll hit the ground running, and you’ll have the option to hire permanently when the fit is clear for both sides.
It’s faster, smarter, and built for how work gets done today.
It’s hiring, evolved.
Why Contract-to-Hire?
Permanent hiring is slow, rigid, and carries inherent risk. Contract-to-Hire fixes that.
Delays kill momentum
Traditional recruitment takes months. With Contract-to-Hire, you get the right person in role right away while avoiding the impact of recruitment freezes.
Bad hires are expensive
One wrong fit can drain your team’s budget, morale, and time. Our pre-vetted Contract-to-Hire talent fixes this by letting you try before you buy.
Gaps hurt teams
Every vacancy piles pressure on the people still standing. Contract-to-Hire avoids the operational and financial impact of waiting to hire.
Contract-to-Hire gives you a faster, smarter way to hire, without the usual compromises.
How Contract-to-Hire solves your challenges
Outsized’s Contract-to-Hire model is built for speed, precision, and peace of mind, because the stakes are too high for guesswork.
See real performance, not just potential
- Assess your talent’s performance on the actual job, not in an interview room, and avoid costly hiring mistakes.
Hit the ground running
- You need results, not rounds of admin. We onboard skilled professionals in days so your projects don’t stall.
Make it permanent when you’re ready
- No long-term commitment upfront. Convert to permanent if and when it makes sense for you.
Who is Contract-to-Hire for?
Contract-to-Hire could be right for you if:
- You’ve got budget but no headcount.
- Your team’s under pressure from urgent vacancies.
- You need to hire difficult-to-find, best-in-breed talent quickly.
