Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our contract-to-hire staffing model.

Most contract-to-hire arrangements run 3-6 months, though this can be customized based on role complexity and your evaluation needs. This gives both parties sufficient time to assess fit.

Conversion fees are typically a percentage of the candidate's annual salary and are lower than traditional placement fees. We provide transparent pricing upfront with no hidden costs.

You're under no obligation to convert. Simply end the contract at the agreed term with no penalties. We can then source alternative candidates if needed. This flexibility is a key advantage of the model.

Virtual Recruiters manages all payroll, benefits, and administrative tasks during the contract phase. Once converted, the employee transitions to your payroll system seamlessly.
