We Converted 19 Contractors to Permanent Staff – Here’s How We Did It

Most businesses want stability - but not all know how to make it happen.

Earlier this year, one of our clients faced a tough brief: convert 19 contractors to permanent hires, fast. Roles were already filled, teams were delivering, but the long-term shape of the workforce needed to change. Quickly, and without disruption.

That’s when our team stepped in.

“Working with ARC Partners made the entire process significantly smoother and more efficient than I expected... They took the time to understand our goals, the specific skills we were looking for, and the kind of people who would be the right fit for our team.”
— Antony H, Client

So how did we make it happen?

1. We started with honest conversations (and plenty of coffee)

Before a single CV was sent, we sat down and listened. Not just to job descriptions, but to the nuance of the team, the pressure points, and what success would actually look like. That clarity gave us the confidence to act quickly and gave our client the assurance we understood what mattered.

2. We sent fewer CVs - but the right ones

No flooding inboxes. Every CV we shared was highly relevant - aligned to the role, team culture, and long-term needs. That made decision-making faster and meant the hiring manager could trust that every candidate was worth their time.

“ARC delivered high-quality candidates who aligned closely with our requirements, which meant less time filtering and more time moving forward.”

3. We kept communication tight

Clear, consistent, and honest - every step of the way. That’s how we avoid surprises, reduce back-and-forth, and build genuine momentum. Our client always knew where things stood, and we handled the detail behind the scenes.

The result?

All 19 roles filled - permanently - and ahead of deadline.

“Thanks to their support and expertise, we successfully recruited all the permanent staff we needed, and in less time than anticipated.”

Real people. Honest conversations. The right result.

That’s what we’re about. If you're ready to turn short-term hires into long-term impact. Let’s talk.
