direct hire

No temp agency

Direct hire refers to employment where a company brings someone onto its own payroll rather than through a staffing agency or contractor arrangement.

The term appears most often in recruiting contexts, distinguishing permanent positions from temporary or contract placements: The position is direct hire with full benefits.

Government agencies use direct hire authority to expedite hiring for critical positions, bypassing standard competitive procedures.
