I have noticed an increasing number of clients requesting contract support, particularly in Accounting & Finance. In today's fast-paced world, flexibility is key - and that's exactly what contractors bring to the table.
Here's why hiring contractors could be a game-changer for your business:
Expert skills on demand: Contractors are professionals in their fields. They jump in with their specialised skills just when you need them.
Cost efficiency: With contractors, you pay for the expertise without the long-term commitment. This means you can manage your budget more effectively and avoid the overheads associated with permanent hires, you pay them for the hours they work.
Headcount: Similarly to the above permanent hires not only have more overheads associated with them, but there are also time-consuming sign-off processes. Contractors are, by nature, only for a limited period so they do not need the same sign-off protocols as a permanent hire.
An all-inclusive fee: Often when I quote an hourly or daily fee to a client, they ask what other hidden costs are on top, assuming that is the pay rate to the candidate. When we quote you a rate, that rate is inclusive of all costs and is the only rate you pay. We take care of all the other costs so you only need to think about one amount.
Flexibility and adaptability: Contractors can quickly adapt to your business's needs, if the project takes longer than expected, you can extend them. There is also the benefit of "try before you buy" for both you and the candidate, should there be a permanent role on offer.
Fresh perspectives: Contractors who work across various industries are used to picking up new systems and fitting into new environments. They may also have fresh ideas on streamlining processes etc..
No strings attached: Contractors move on to their next role when the job's done.
Hiring contractors is more than just getting the help you need - it's about enjoying the added benefit of flexibility, expertise, and innovative thinking to your team.
