Contract and Interim Recruitment

Why hire a contractor?
Flexibility
A contractor offers a flexible solution when a project arises which requires a specific skillset. Contractors are often paid a day rate for the services and can therefore be brought in on an ad hoc basis (often at short notice) to cover excess workloads, provide new skills or undertake projects as and when needed.
If the employer feels the contractor doesn’t fit in with the company culture or ethos, there is no need to bring them back once the contract has ended. Many businesses work with contractors during periods of change or transformation until the end results are established, after which a permanent recruitment process may begin.
Gap between start dates
A short term contractor can often fill a void between an employee exiting the business and their replacement starting. Sometimes even the best planned recruitment process doesn’t always go to plan and timescales can slip, or the preferred candidate is on a longer notice period. Having gaps in key leadership and managerial roles can cause real business issues.
Specialised skills
Contractors bring a high level of skill, knowledge and experience in their particular field and can be brought in to assist permanent businesses on specific projects.
Contractors work on either a fixed term basis or on a rolling contract, allowing the employer to make use of a niche skillset without having to commit to hiring a full-time employee when there will be no longer term requirement.
