Temporary staffing, also known as contract staffing, has existed for many years in various forms. This model was primarily used in construction and agriculture. Gradually, we began to see other industries using the model as well and started to employ people to meet their business needs.
Contract staffing is a viable and growing workforce option that can not only meet administrative needs but also engage senior-level staff in a cost-efficient manner to provide strategic leadership expertise.
Staffing Industry Analysts predicts that 50 percent of Fortune 100 companies’ workers will be contingent employees by 2022. Although every employer will have a different need for contract workers, they will need to consider how to implement a successful recruitment strategy that includes both permanent and contingent workers in order to propel their company forward.
Discuss the workforce mix at company-wide strategy meetings. Don’t wait until the demands are too great or beyond the capabilities of permanent staff. Simply put, think about whether you have all the people needed to achieve company goals.
Do not dismiss contract talent as temporary workers. There is a lot of high-skilled contract talent available that can be hired for projects lasting several months or even years. These top performers prefer contract staffing because of the flexibility it offers and the ability to show expertise in a particular area. Employers can more efficiently and cost-effectively meet their temporary workforce needs through contingent workers
Think about your industry and the variations in workflow that occur throughout the year. Information technology, electronic patient record implementation, healthcare information tech, and pharmaceutical/life sciences are all industries that are susceptible to workflow fluctuations. Variable staffing costs will help you better manage your expenses.
