Every business has encountered the situation where valuable time and effort was put into finding a full-time candidate, only to discover the candidate was not a good fit for the organization.  The benefit of contract employment is that businesses get to have a “test drive” to see if the candidate is as good in reality as they were on paper.  If the contract to hire employee meets your expectations then you can hire them as a permanent full-time employee.  This can result in a lower turnover rate, boost company image and save on hiring expenses.
