The 21-Day Contract-to-Hire Sprint.
Start with a contractor. Convert to full-time only when the fit is proven. This 21-Day Recruiting Sprint builds a pipeline of interview-ready candidates open to starting on contract—with the intent to convert—so you can reduce hiring risk and evaluate performance before committing to a permanent headcount.
Only pay for the hours you need.
Who This Sprint Is For?

Best fit if you are:
- Unsure about long-term headcount
- Hiring for a high-impact role with mis-hire risk
- Wanting to evaluate performance before conversion
