What is Contract-to-Hire?
Contract to hire meaning: A hiring model where professionals are initially brought on for a set timeframe, with the option to transition into a full-time position based on performance and mutual fit. This format serves as a testing period for both parties, helping companies reduce risk while evaluating talent in real working conditions.
Often called "temp to hire," this approach is a smart way to navigate hiring uncertainty and strengthen workforce flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Contract-to-hire is a hiring model where a software engineer starts under a short-term contract with the option to convert to full-time. It allows us to evaluate their skills, culture fit, and performance before making a long-term commitment.
Both models involve temporary engagements. Contract-to-hire is structured as a trial period with the intention of making a full-time hire. Staff augmentation helps you scale your team flexibly with external developers—who can still be part of long-term projects and integrated into our core processes.
In direct hiring, we bring someone on board as a full-time employee from day one. Contract-to-hire gives us the chance to validate technical and cultural fit before offering a permanent role.
BEON’s engineers are vetted to be AI‑proficient, autonomous and product‑driven. We seek engineers who proactively use AI to accelerate delivery, automate routine tasks and make better decisions; they act like owners, bring a product mindset and are fluent in the tools used by modern software teams.
