Handling Staffing Shortages: Could a Contractor Be the Answer for Your Team?

Staffing shortages can disrupt productivity and business operations. These factors impact your bottom line.

Hiring a contractor could be the answer to your team’s staffing shortages. Contract professionals can effectively fill the gap to sustain business processes. As a result, your company can maintain its competitive edge.

Discover how hiring a contractor could be the answer to handling staffing shortages.

Fast Hiring  

Contractors come to you vetted and are ready to start immediately, or ready to interview if needed. The staffing agency already invested time and money in sourcing, screening, interviewing, and qualifying each contractor, extensively. Therefore, you can have the contractor start immediately, as many clients do, or interview a few select candidates, extend a contract to the best fit, and begin onboarding.

Experienced Professionals

A contractor has well-developed skills and years of work experience. As a result, they can quickly assimilate into your team and begin producing. These actions support collaboration and productivity.

Specialized Skills

Many contractors have specialized skills for niche roles. Therefore, hiring a contractor can mean taking on additional projects. Increased revenue strengthens the bottom line.

Flexibility

Adding contractors lets you scale your team according to production demand. For instance, you can add contractors to help with specialized projects or increase workloads during peak productivity.

Your employees can stay productive during busy times without feeling overwhelmed. Reducing employee stress helps avoid burnout.

Monetary Savings

Hiring a contractor costs significantly less than hiring an employee. Because the contractor is employed by the staffing agency, the agency is responsible for payroll, benefits, taxes, worker’s compensation claims, unemployment claims, and related expenses. You pay for only the services used.

Short-term contracts

Because contractors typically work with your team for a limited time, you pay for only their duration with your company. As a result, you avoid the ongoing expenses associated with full-time employees.

Satisfaction guaranteed

If the contractor is not a good fit for the role call your recruiting team.  They are well versed at counseling the contractors to right the ship.  If that doesn’t work, then we end the assignment while finding the RIGHT fit for you. As a result, you avoid the cost of a bad hire…quickly.
