Hire contract-to-hire software developers with Terminal
Most hiring platforms don’t support contract-to-hire engineers or charge huge fees. Terminal is different. Our full-stack solution supports hiring and employment and encourages contract-to-hire developers.

Benefits of Contract to Hire Developers
Cut down on hiring time
We do all the vetting, saving you time and effort on sourcing and recruiting.
Evaluate fit before committing
You have plenty of time to assess how the developer fits in with your culture and existing team before you hire them full-time.
14-day risk-free guarantee
If you choose to end an engagement with a contractor within the first 14 days, you won’t incur any costs.
Save on costs
You won’t need to worry about recruiting expenses—or full-time worker benefits until you’ve seen the developer in action.
Mitigate risk
We take care of compliance and regulatory concerns until (and if) you commit to a longer-term arrangement. We can also be the Employer of Record (EOR) if you hire the developer full-time.
