I'm not sure what I said contradicts what you're saying. I've been involved with hiring over 100 people in Boston, San Francisco and NYC. Everyone does not really know everyone but that's a different story. Contract to hire is very popular in the part of the Midwest where I'm originally from because of no particular reason other than the hiring firm can and the person being hired doesn't have many options. At one place I worked in Boston everyone was theoretically "contract to hire" but it was atypical as the rate paid was so high that nobody ever took the full time job.
- beachstartup 13y agoi see you deleted your anecdote, which to me basically exemplifies my theory that the opposing opinion on this matter is simply just a way of validating ego. "I would never do that, so therefore, no other good developer would either. Ever."
- rdouble 13y agoI deleted my anecdote because I didn't feel it was appropriate to leave details up about my friend's company as he's still my friend and they still need to fill the position. I guess I don't get what you're saying. Who does contract to hire where it's good a good deal for someone other than the employer?
