Try & Hire

Try and hire. A model combining flexibility and security.

Try & Hire is a safe employment path that helps reduce the cost of a bad hire. In a traditional process, you base your decision on resumes and interviews, which do not always reflect reality. In the Antal model, you assess the specialist's competencies in a real project – usually for 3 to 6 months – before deciding on permanent employment.

You observe the employee in action, evaluate their fit with the team and effectiveness. The candidate gets to know your company and organizational culture. And we take care of the rest: from recruitment and onboarding to full payroll and HR services during the trial period.

When the trial period ends, you have complete freedom of choice: you can hire the employee permanently, extend the contract, or end the project without unnecessary formalities and costs. Based on projects carried out by Antal, over 75% of companies decide to hire after the Try & Hire period. This shows that evaluating a candidate in a real work environment simply works.

When does the Try & Hire model work best?

You need IT, HR, or financial specialists 'right now'.

You do not want to immediately increase the number of permanent positions.

You are looking for a temporary solution with an open option for employment.

You want to check team fit in practice.

Budget flexibility and risk minimization are important to you.
