Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between contract, contract-to-hire, and direct-hire staffing?

GLOBAL offers three engagement models. Contract staffing places a professional for a defined project or capacity need. Contract-to-hire lets you evaluate a candidate on the job before extending a permanent offer, and direct-hire recruiting fills a permanent role from the start. GLOBAL helps match the model to your timeline, workload, and long-term workforce plan.
