Contract Staffing
The right person for work with an end date.
Launches, backlogs, busy seasons and leave cover all have a finish line. We recruit your hire for exactly that stretch and run their pay.
One skilled person for a fixed term
Some needs come with a calendar attached. Contract Staffing gives you a skilled remote professional for an agreed period, working on your business and in your tools until the term is up. We recruit your hire against your brief and run their contract and pay throughout.
As the end date approaches, we sit down with you and look at what comes next.
Typical reasons to use it
- A defined piece of work with a clear start and finish
- Cover while a team member is on leave
- A seasonal peak that needs extra hands
If the need is ongoing, Managed Service is the closer match. If you'd like a whole project built and delivered for you, Managed Project Delivery does that.
Four steps from brief to finish
- 1
Set the term. The work, the contract length, the skills and the hours you need covered.
- 2
Pick from a shortlist. We screen widely and introduce the few who fit, each tested on your kind of work and checked for background and references. You run the interviews and choose.
- 3
Begin. We issue the contract and set up pay, and your hire starts logging time in the client app.
- 4
Plan the finish. Ahead of the end date, we go through the options together.
Billed monthly for the term
The price follows the role, the scope and the length of the term, and a call is where we go through it. You're invoiced each month while the contract runs.
Part of the package:
- Recruiting, with practical tests against your brief
- Background and reference checks
- The contract, pay and HR for the term
- The client app for tracked time, timesheet approvals and reports
Factors in the price: seniority, skills, the person's country, the hours you need and how long the term lasts.
