What is Direct Hire Recruiting?
Direct hire recruiting is a full-cycle hiring solution where Clayton Services identifies, screens, and presents qualified candidates for permanent employment directly on your payroll. You pay a one-time placement fee when a candidate is hired — there are no ongoing staffing markups, no co-employment considerations, and the employee is yours from day one.
Direct hire is the right choice when you need a permanent team member, a specialized skillset, or a leadership role filled with someone built for the long term. Every Clayton Services direct hire placement is backed by our 180-day replacement guarantee — view our full guarantee terms here.
