on-hire basis
An 'on-hire basis' is a situation where a business recruits employees and then outsources them to other companies (host organisations) to perform tasks for these companies.
When a company operates on an on-hire basis, it's essentially acting as a middleman between its employees and other companies (known as host organisations). These host organisations use the services of the on-hire company's employees for various tasks, and to support with their workload. The employees continue to remain employed by the original company during these placements. This arrangement can be beneficial for businesses that need specialised or temporary help without permanently hiring new employees.
