Perm in a sentence as a noun

It's not to pretend that the whole market for devs has suddenly embraced temp- to- perm hiring.

Aside: let's be careful not to pretend that temp-to-perm hiring is any kind of norm.

"Less than 3% of them applied to become permanent residents".

After all, if they don't know enough not to take the term-to-perm offer, why complicate things?

Contract-to-perm hiring seems like a great way to filter out the best candidates, who will tend to have better options.

Perm in a sentence as a verb

If that's true, the companies running "trial weeks" and other temp-to-perm arrangements should be able to quote the retention rate they have from these programs.

It's not the easiest thing in the world to explain, no, which is why I bet most people who do the temp-to-perm thing don't bother, and just pay the contractor according to their yearly salary.

How can anyone honestly expect someone to work for less than 60k, even as a mid tier dev?I hear so many companies that whine about the lack of perm developers then go ahead and hire a contract dev at 500/day.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they hover around 95%, or in some cases even 100%.But then, I'd respond to that by asking what temp-to-perm is actually buying you, in exchange for the expense of filtering your candidate pool down to people willing to do you a favor in the hottest seller's market for talent in 10 years.
