What we observed
Crosscheck placed a Business Central technical architect in Ottawa on a contract-to-hire basis. The employer required three onsite days per week. The candidate relocated from Montreal and later joined the employer as a permanent employee. This describes one placement, not a general pattern of relocation willingness among Business Central candidates.
What you should decide
For an Ottawa hybrid search, decide whether you can consider technical architects who need to relocate. State the three-day onsite requirement before interviews, and agree a feasible start arrangement with the candidate. Discuss the expected permanent role and conversion conditions at the same time. Keep hands-on Business Central technical experience as a day-one requirement.
Evidence to ask for
Ask candidates to explain a Business Central technical design they owned, including the extension or integration decisions and how they tested upgrades. Separate their design decisions from work other team members performed. Assess that evidence alongside a concrete relocation plan and their interest in permanent employment.
