Temp-to-hire, known in the Dutch market as detavast, means we carry the candidate on our own payroll for the agreed period. You direct the work; we handle the administration.
The structure suits two situations in particular. The first is a new budget line not yet signed off as headcount. The second is a deliberate trial period for a senior hire where both sides want to commit only when the fit is proven.
Candidates we place via temp-to-hire are the same calibre as our permanent hires: real senior professionals who are open to a structured trial rather than a contingent contractor day rate.
We handle the employment side cleanly. Pearson & Partners contracts the candidate, runs payroll, manages holiday accrual, sickness, pension contribution and the standard CAO-aligned employment package.
Temp-to-hire is the right engagement when you want to combine the certainty of a senior commitment with the optionality of an operational arrangement.
