This is traditional employment with an employer. W2 is the name of the form a new employee fills out in the US to set up their tax information. Taxes are deducted from the employee’s paycheck by the employer.

C2C stands for Corporation to Corporation. When two companies work together, the relationship is sometimes referred to as “C2C”. Beaufort Fairmont doesn’t engage in C2C with vendors or individuals for the purposes of filling roles with clients except in extremely rare circumstances.

1099 is sometimes used to refer to an independent contractor. A 1099 form is used by companies paying a person or entity who is NOT an employee. A copy of the form is sent to the individual and to the IRS. Beaufort Fairmont doesn’t engage in 1099 relationships with vendors or individuals the purposes of filling roles with clients except in extremely rare circumstances.

This term is used in a casual sense to refer to the relationship between a project employee of Beaufort Fairmont who may later become an employee of our client. In this arrangement, when all parties agree to the employee becoming a permanent employee of the client, the projected employee will transition to being an employee of the client. Also called “conversion”.

Conversion is the process a client of Beaufort Fairmont uses to change a project employee of Beaufort Fairmont into a permanent employee of the client. This process starts with the client, the project employee, and Beaufort Fairmont agreeing to convert the project employee. When requested, Beaufort Fairmont may allow the client and project employee to talk through the terms of employment with the client.

Beaufort Fairmont and the client then agree to a date for conversion and work through any paperwork needed to seamlessly end employment of the project employee with Beaufort Fairmont and begin employment as a permanent employee of the client.

Employees of Beaufort Fairmont MUST be authorized to work in the United States. We do not employ people outside of the US or those who are not authorized to work in the US.

All potential employees must have valid, current work authorization and proper documentation to work for us.

As a small company, we are not able to sponsor visas.

Many times candidates say “I have an employer”. This does NOT constitute work authorization without sponsorship. Instead, it implies the candidate is looking for a C2C or 1099 type of relationship. We never enter into C2C or 1099 relationships to side step work authorization, or sponsorship.
