Start with a consulting assignment and retain the option to hire the specialist directly after an agreed period. We can also coordinate international relocation, employment and practical arrangements, providing a flexible route to permanent recruitment without an obligation to hire.
With established specialist networks locally, across the Nordics, Europe and globally, we identify, attract and present qualified candidates, including for hard-to-fill positions.
Our targeted search is tailored to each assignment's specific requirements, whether you need a permanent hire or a specialist for a fixed-term consulting assignment.
International Try & Hire – From Consulting to Permanent Employment
For companies looking to recruit international specialists for permanent positions, our Try & Hire model provides a flexible alternative to immediate direct employment.
We initially employ the selected specialist and manage the arrangements required for the consultant to relocate and begin working at your location.
During the consulting assignment, the specialist works as part of your organisation while we remain responsible for the agreed employment and administrative arrangements.
Following a mutually agreed consulting period, you have the option to offer the specialist direct employment, subject to the consultant's agreement.
There is no obligation to proceed with a permanent hire.
Transparent Arrangements From the Start
We believe that transparency is essential when a consulting assignment may lead to permanent employment.
From the outset, we agree on the commercial arrangements, employment conditions and potential transition process. Throughout the assignment, we maintain open communication regarding costs, contractual terms and practical considerations.
This approach helps minimise administrative complexity and supports a smooth transition for the consultant if both parties decide to proceed with direct employment.
How Try & Hire works
Terms from the start
Before the assignment begins, we agree on the length of the consulting period, the price and the terms for a transfer to employment with you.
Consulting period
The person works in your team. We are the employer and handle salary and administration.
Decision
As the period draws to a close, we check in with both you and the consultant.
Transfer
If both parties want to continue, you offer employment on the terms already agreed.
Try & Hire is a way of recruiting where the person first works with you as a consultant, employed by us. After an agreed period, you can offer the person direct employment – but you are under no obligation to do so.
How does Try & Hire work?
Before the start, we agree the length of the consultant period, the price and the terms for a transfer. During the period, the person works in your team while we are the employer, and as the period nears its end we check in with both you and the consultant.
How much does Try & Hire cost?
You pay for the consultant period as agreed, and the terms for transferring to employment, including any fee, are agreed in advance. So you know the cost before the assignment starts.
How long is the consultant period in Try & Hire?
We agree on the length together from the start, based on the role and your needs. The period can be extended if you need more time.
Does Try & Hire work for specialists from abroad?
Yes. We employ the selected candidate and handle what is needed for them to relocate and start working with you, including work permits and practical arrangements.
What if the collaboration does not work out?
The assignment ends according to the agreed terms, and you have no obligation to hire. We can help you find another candidate.
