What is Perm / Permanent Placements
Perm placement refers to the hiring of a candidate into a full-time, long-term role with an organization. In this model, the candidate becomes a direct employee of the hiring company rather than working on a temporary or contract basis.
Why Perm Placements Matter
Perm placements are important because they:
- Support long-term workforce planning
- Provide stability for both employers and employees
- Reduce frequent rehiring and turnover
- Help build organizational knowledge and culture
They are commonly used for core roles that require ongoing commitment and growth within the organization.
How Perm Placements Work
In a perm placement process:
- Recruiters source and screen candidates for full-time roles
- Candidates go through interviews and evaluations
- The selected candidate is hired directly by the employer
Recruitment agencies typically earn a one-time placement fee once the candidate successfully joins the organization.
Perm Placements in Recruitment Platforms
Recruitment platforms track perm placements separately from contract roles to manage hiring workflows, offers, and reporting more effectively.
