Direct recruitment is a process in which a company offers you a job and hires you without the involvement of a third party. This structure is different from temporary (usually less than a year) or contract positions for which a recruitment agency supplies and hires talent. A direct-employment job is usually a permanent or long-term position with a salary, paid time off, and benefits such as retirement accounts and health insurance.
While a recruiting firm may handle the recruitment process, you will report directly to the recruiting firm when you accept a job offer. The direct recruitment process can take longer than a fast-filling temporary position because your potential employer is looking for a long-term relationship and wants to do a thorough job of finding and interviewing strong candidates.
If you are looking for a committed, long-term position that offers benefits, finding a direct hire position may be a good option for you. Examples of jobs that are usually direct hire include:
