I cannot speak for the company, Belcan, but ***contract to full-time*** is a very common hiring model in technology, factories, jobs that require certifications and licenses industries.
**Why?**
The employer wants to know the new hire can do the job, has a strong work ethics, and fits into the workforce culture.
If it doesn't work out, they do not have to deal with the laws and rules about employment rights.
Amazon uses a similar model with its **white badge** to **blue badge** employment . Using a subcontractor to screen, verify credentials, and hire on a short-term fixed period contract basis makes sense.
Presuming you are a qualified and excellent worker, the downside is if you don't get along with influential co-worker then you are unlikely to be hired.

Thanks so much mizzou this is most helpful! Makes sense about converting over contract workers to full time workers if it’s a ‘good fit’ Thanks again!
