Conversion rates for contract-to-hire positions at Hulu?
Assuming it is mostly team/performance dependent - any guidance?
I have seen multiple contractors, some from Mexico some from US get converted. Being from US makes it much easier
So would call that a normal hiring practice? Extended trial run to see if you cut it as a FTE ... I know we do the same thing
Yeah would consider it normal. Why waste time interviewing bunch of people when you know a contractor with experience at the company already who is good at their job
Depends on the org/position. Haven’t seen great conversions for roles where manpower is needed to scale up an existing function to meet increased short term demand (eg data science). Saw more success where the contract position was highly specialized.
I've seen 5 contractors/consultants throughout my time. 2 are still here, 2 got let go after their term (no renewal), 1 got converted after several years
Interesting - engineering or other roles?
Mostly engineering. Some analysts
Ive seen alot of contractors from design side get converted, but you definitely need to be a good designer.
Don't take a contract job. (Not if what u want is a career) If freelancing is your goal, contract is fine.
Mind explaining your reasoning? Especially if the goal is FTE?
DM. We can chat later.
