Hey there 🙌
Welcome to Pangea - a modern contract-to-hire platform revolutionizing the way companies hire early-career talent.
Our goal is to make contract-to-hire the standard hiring method, eliminating the need for staffing agencies and their associated conversion fees.
Why contract-to-hire is the way to go:
Offers flexibility: Employers can assess the fit of the employee before making a permanent decision, while employees can determine if they want to pursue a full-time role at the company. Reduces risk: If the employee doesn't work out, employers can end the contract without incurring the cost and hassle of a traditional termination. Provides an opportunity to showcase skills: A contract-to-hire period allows employees to demonstrate their abilities and build relationships with the company and colleagues. Leads to a potential direct-hire offer: If both parties are satisfied, the contract-to-hire period can result in a direct-hire offer and permanent position.
At Pangea, we concentrate on early-career talent (0-5 years of experience) who bring:
Fresh ideas and perspectives: Early-career professionals can provide new and creative solutions to problems. Adaptability and eagerness to learn: They are often ready to learn new skills and tackle new challenges, making them a great fit for fast-paced environments. Digital savviness: Younger generations tend to have a strong understanding of technology and digital tools, which is an advantage in many industries. Cost-effectiveness: Hiring early-career talent is usually more budget-friendly than hiring more experienced professionals, as they typically command lower salaries and benefits. Long-term potential: Investing in the development of early-career talent can create a strong pipeline of future leaders and a more stable workforce.
