Flexible workforce

Contract and permanent staffing that flexes with your business

Whether you need a contractor for a six-month project, temporary staff for a peak, or a long-term employee, we deliver customized staffing strategies for both short-term and permanent needs.

What is the difference between contract and permanent staffing?

Contract staffing places workers for a fixed period or project, often through the staffing provider, so you can scale quickly without long-term commitment. Permanent staffing recruits employees who join your payroll indefinitely. Contract-to-hire combines both: the worker starts on contract and can convert to permanent.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Short, direct answers to the questions we hear most.

What is contract staffing?

Contract staffing places skilled workers with your company for a set period or project. It's ideal for peaks, projects and backfills.

What is contract-to-hire?

A contract-to-hire worker starts on a contract. If both sides are happy after the trial period, they convert to a permanent employee.

Which is cheaper, contract or permanent staff?

Contract staff cost more per hour but avoid long-term commitments and benefits costs. Permanent staff cost less over time for ongoing needs. The right answer depends on how long you need the skills.

Can contractors convert to permanent employees?

Yes. Contract-to-hire is designed for that. Conversion terms are agreed upfront.

How quickly can you provide contract staff?

It depends on the role and location. Common skill sets are usually faster to fill than niche specialties; we'll give you a realistic timeline when we scope the request.
