Direct hire, individual placement
A new employee, with a coach in the background.
Direct Hire brings a prepared candidate into your team. PWI stays involved at the start, then steps back as the employee finds their footing.
The basics
In a Direct Hire arrangement, the employer hires the person directly. The role is at least 15 hours each week and pays a competitive wage with benefits. A PWI Employment Training Specialist provides onboarding support and job coaching.
Coaching begins with a high level of presence and gradually decreases as the employee becomes comfortable and independent. The goal is a stable, long term relationship between the employee and the employer.
What PWI provides
- Recruitment and screening at no cost to the employer
- A candidate matched to the tasks and the schedule
- Training support during the first weeks
- Job coaching paid for by PWI
- A contact who can help if something changes
Positions that fit
PWI clients work in many kinds of roles. Examples include retail, clerical and office support, food service, software testing, customer service, manufacturing and assembly, and custodial or grounds maintenance. If your role is not on the list, ask. The match depends on the person and the tasks.
Why it works for employers
Hiring takes time. A poor match costs more. PWI reduces the guesswork by learning about the person before the introduction, and by staying available during the transition. Employers also gain a workforce that is often overlooked, with people who want to be there.
