Does JPMC hire employees as contractors first?

Hi, I’m a SWE and I used to work at JPMC. Due to the instability of tech companies these days, I have been thinking about going back to JPMC. A third-party recruiter reached out to me for an opening at JPMC. They said that the first three months will be on contract, after that if it works out, they will convert me to a FTE. Is this legit?

Contract to hire is normal

It's actually great for both of you. There is a perceived downside for the employee if things don't work out but it is good for both of you in the long run.

I wasn't hired as contractor, but was hired as FTE and i joined 3 months ago, so that is weird if the jpmc recruiter told you that, maybe it's because of how unstable the economy is now

Nvm, I read third party, in that case, it's definitely contractor unless it was the recruiter from jpmc

I got in via the SEP program but many of the older employees i know are only in because of contract to hire.

no you can join as FTE there is a 90 introductory period but it’s not a contract.

Which third party was it? I want to work for JPMC but Dk which staffing agency to reach out to. I’m currently still an intern but graduating in a couple months.
