With Direct Hire, Lupton Partners acts as the search lead, but your organization remains the Employer of Record (EOR). The candidate is integrated directly into your internal systems, receiving all standard institutional benefits, insurance, and retirement structures from Day 01.
Whether it’s called Contract-to-Hire, Temporary Staffing, or Temp-to-Perm, the core distinction is the Employer of Record. In this modality, we manage the tactical deployment of talent for specific durations or "bridge" periods, allowing for a technical evaluation of the fit before a permanent commitment is made.
