Direct hire means a recruiter helps an employer identify, evaluate, and place a candidate into a position directly with the hiring company. Unlike temporary staffing, the candidate joins the employer directly after the hiring decision. A recruiter may support discovery, sourcing, screening, interviews, reference validation, and alignment around the role, team, and organizational culture.
