3 reasons why your next hire should be a contractor

Here are 3 reasons why your next hire should be a contractor: 

Our contractors work on contracts from 1 day to 12 months plus depending on a client's need. On top of which all contracts incorporate notice periods, so there is ultimate flexibility surrounding a contract hire. Contractors are used to having to be flexible, accommodating, and a lot of candidates are already confident in remote working.

Whether you need to plug a gap or take the pressure off of teams, contractors are invaluable to businesses in this time and are used to getting up and running quickly. 

​

Often we get asked to find contractors for clients to provide a skill set that is not currently retained in-house. Or recruit a skillset that is needed for a one-off project, where a perm hire is not an option- i.e. migrating to an online e-commerce platform when you're a brand that was previously retail only. 

Being able to scale up in a flexible way and add extra skills and knowledge to a team on a case by case basis is invaluable to businesses that aren't able to commit to a longer contract.

If budget is tight currently but work still needs to continue, contractors are a great option as clients aren't committing to a long term cost; plugging into the needs of a business is what contractors specialise in.

We work with a lot of our contractors on a repeat basis and can vouch for their ability to get up to speed quickly and meet the requirements needed from them. 

With IR35 no longer taking place, hiring a contractor is no longer a concern for businesses who were previously concerned with the government changes.
