What Our Clients Say

Rajesh K., CTO, Toronto IT Solutions Firm

Unique System Skills Canada helped us fill a contract-to-hire developer role in record time. The candidate was technically strong and adapted to our agile environment seamlessly. After a 3-month contract, we brought him on board full-time — reducing hiring risks and costs significantly.

Mark H., Operations Manager, Calgary Construction Services

Finding skilled tradespeople who are reliable is always a challenge. With contract-to-hire staffing, we were able to evaluate candidates on-site before making a commitment. One of our electricians proved to be an excellent long-term hire. This flexibility has been a game changer for our projects.

Linda G., CFO, Vancouver Finance Firm

We needed an experienced accountant during year-end reporting. Through their contract-to-hire service, Unique System Skills provided a candidate who not only handled the workload but later became a permanent part of our finance team. It gave us confidence in hiring without rushing the decision.

Frequently Asked Question

Things people often ask about our Contract-to-Hire Staffing Services

Contract-to-Hire (C2H) allows you to evaluate a candidate’s skills, performance, and cultural fit during a temporary contract period before making a permanent employment offer. It’s a flexible, low-risk hiring solution for both employers and candidates.

This model helps businesses in Canada reduce hiring risks, manage workforce costs, and ensure they’re onboarding only top-performing talent. It’s ideal for fast-growing companies or those unsure about long-term headcount needs.

The contract duration typically ranges from 3 to 6 months, depending on your company’s policies and project requirements. After this period, you may choose to extend, convert, or end the contract based on performance.

We specialize in IT, Engineering, Finance, Administrative, Healthcare, and Skilled Trades roles across Canada. Our recruiters understand the unique needs of each sector and source professionals who are ready to transition into full-time roles.

We combine AI-driven screening, manual skill assessments, interviews, and background checks to ensure every candidate meets your technical and cultural requirements. We maintain a large database of pre-vetted Canadian professionals.

During the contract phase, we handle payroll, benefits, and statutory deductions (CPP, EI, taxes) for the candidate, ensuring full compliance with Canadian employment standards. Once hired permanently, the candidate transitions to your payroll.

Candidates gain an opportunity to showcase their skills, gain Canadian work experience, and secure permanent employment with reputable companies — all while receiving competitive pay and benefits during the contract phase

You pay only for the hours or contract duration while the candidate works under our employment. Once you decide to hire full-time, a conversion fee or no-fee option (based on contract length) may apply — all transparently outlined in our proposal.

Yes. If a candidate leaves or is found unsuitable during the contract or conversion period, we provide a free replacement guarantee as per the terms of your staffing agreement.

Absolutely. If you’re satisfied with the candidate’s performance, you can offer a direct-hire conversion at any time, following the agreed-upon conversion policy.

We provide Contract-to-Hire staffing services nationwide, including major markets like Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and Ottawa — as well as remote and hybrid placements across Canada.

Our average time-to-fill is 5–10 business days for most positions, thanks to our extensive pre-qualified talent network and responsive recruitment process.
