Agree what will be evaluated
If a contract engagement may lead to permanent employment, define the review period and the capabilities that will be assessed. Set expectations for feedback, role scope, compensation discussions and the decision date. The candidate should understand that any later employment offer is a separate decision and process.
Keep both sides aligned
Schedule check-ins during the engagement rather than waiting until the end. Discuss progress, support needs and any change in responsibilities openly. If the role or expectations shift, record the revised understanding so the evaluation remains fair and connected to the work.
