The bringing together of a job seeker and a prospective employer for the purpose of effecting a traditional employment relationship, for a fee. Also refers to the process of arranging such a relationship. This term is now falling out of favor (in the US) because the use of “permanent” can connote a guarantee of employment that is generally misleading for a typical “at-will” employee. In the US, “Direct Hire” is more commonly used. (See also: Placement, Direct Hire.)
