Enterprise level Contract and Freelance Staffing Solutions
What is Contract Staffing:
Freelancers or Temporary Hires, Contract Staffing aids you in finding the perfect and reliable candidate for a temporary and on project basis gigs.
The corporate world is changing and with it has changed the perception of human capital and human resources. Efficiency is of the essence and deadlines pop up at any time. The ability to hire a freelancer or talent who works with you on per project basis is not uncharted territory for many companies.
Also, talent too has found that working at their own pace is a newfound new luxury. This increases their productivity and they could get more done for more people and businesses by this agile model.
Contract staffing is all about hiring highly qualified talent for a per project basis with minimal commitments. Either party can terminate the service if any of the pre-established agreements are broken or not adhered to.
Giants such as Google and Amazon have cut down their salary and employee expenditure by a significant per cent thanks to their inclusion of contractual workforce.
Why should you Get Contract Staff?
On a permanent basis, you would be hiring a full-time worker/professional who would, ideally, be spending the entirety of their career working for the profitable betterment of the company. But how often can you afford to hire a full-time employee and sometimes for the most small time of projects?
Contract staff or Freelance Talent gives you the ability to get the work done at economic pricing and often than not, it gets the job done easier. With a minimal commitment to either party, the focus would be on the quality of the work than on other issues such as the payout, severance, benefits, workstations among others.
If you are expanding into a new sector or a new process, hiring of new staff would be an exhaustive task. For companies that are more into diverse sectors of services, they may or may not be able to maintain a full roster of employees of different skillset, always. When the team is on the bench, the expenses of bearing this roster would be tremendous and exhaustive. Hence it is vital that companies as such should be looking at getting talent on a per requirement basis.
Also, Contract staff need not be freelancers per se. These can be full time working employees who would be adhering to your work culture and office norms so they can work side by side, in synergy with your workforce.
How does Contract Staffing Work?
Contract Staffing, unlike direct hire, gives you a certain risk-averse solution of talent acquisition. As all of the hired staff would be managed by the recruitment firm, the client firm would not be responsible for the managerial duties of the talent. You, as a client would be focussing on getting the job done than spending your resources in managing the overhead requirements of the hires.
Once you have understood that you are in the need of contract hire, you would be creating a draft idea of your ideal candidate. This includes the written picture of how you want this ideal candidate to be. What would be the experience, pay limit, work ethic, flexibility among other parameters is taken into consideration.
After this, the recruiter firm would be pooling in their talent database to find the relevant candidate(s) for the job. If in case of the candidature needs to be hired independently, a drive could also be conducted or the required talent would be found through various other sources.
When a profile comes in, a thorough background check is conducted and the candidate(s) is vetted. The vetting process includes all the screening that needs to be done in order to declare the candidate a fit for your company and your job description.
Now the pay along with the work duration (hours or weeks or up until the project completion) are discussed with the candidate by the recruiting company on behalf of the hiring company.
The best part about contract staffing is the fact that the entire payroll of the candidate would be managed by the recruiter. This means that the paycheque for the contract staff would be processed through the recruiter company.

Contract to Hire Staffing
Embrace the Advent of Meritocracy
Contract Hires for Every Job. Big or Massive
What is Contract to Hire:
Contract to hire is a hybrid and improvised form of talent acquisition that focuses on bringing the hires and the hiring company to a common ground.
A great way for both the parties to test waters and settle on comfortable grounds than the traditional hire and fire mechanisms, Contract to Hire is becoming increasingly popular and often a go-to method for emerging global businesses.
This allows the prospect workforce to get a chance to work, gain the necessary insights and feel of working at the company before committing to any term of employment. All the same while, it also gives companies great flexibility on to test-work with talent and makes sure that they are able to adhere to the company’s work culture, ethics and ethos.
An increasingly flexible and much-adapted practice by businesses worldwide, there is an estimate that about 163 million (approximates to about 20 or 30% working population of the US and EU) have adopted the flexible mode of work and careers.
While a projected 85% of companies worldwide are planning to include more and more contractual workforce into their processes, a little above 30% have already begun with the same.
Why are companies moving towards contractual hires C2H?
Hiring is not an easy task. The ability to find the right talent for the right job has been a challenging task for the majority of fast-paced businesses.
Particularly in the production and service sectors, finding a stable candidate that suits your corporate ethos in the emerging economies such as India or even for paced economies such as the US or UK is daunting.
After an exhaustive hiring process, once the workflow has begun post-training, you start getting reports from the teams of inconsistencies and process hindrances. While there can be numerous factors that contribute to this, a common and usually the right reason is the fact that the hire is simply a pea unable to fit in the pod.
Contract Hire and Progressive Human Resource Optimization
While job security is something every professional look for, sticking around without initial tangible fruits is something that is hard for the human psyche to comprehend.
Contractual jobs give you as an employer to test the candidate on a real-time basis whereas they, as a working professional, get to prove their worth, align their working modes to that of the company thereby creating a perfect win-win situation.
Employees are happy with their testing and training periods whereas you get to save plenty of resources, money and efforts and negative investments in the training and incorporation processes.
In fact, this try before buy model of employment actually leads to more employee loyalty and retainership than the traditional hiring funnels
How does Contract to Hire work C2H?
Often characterized by a contract, the terms, duration and the extent of work done by the talent and enforced by the employer are all dictated by the contract. During the period of the contract, all of the monetary compensation and financial transactions of the hire would be handled by the staffing and hiring firm.
One of the quick hiring process there is, prior to engaging in a contract to hire position, the client would approach the hiring firm with a detailed outline for the ideal candidate/candidates. Upon initial filtration through the existing profiles or through a separate and designated hiring process, the hiring company shortlists a list of potential candidates
The candidate evaluation, the contract periods, terms post-contract period and the monetary compensations during the trial period are all maintained with clear transparency with either party. Constant feedback and inputs with the hiring process are backbones of crystal clear communication and effective hiring.
Post the completion of the contract; if and when a company decides to make an employee permanent, the payroll would be taken and shifted from the staffing agency to that of the client’s payroll.

Direct Hire
Your Business Gets you to success, But it is your Workforce that personifies your brand.
Direct Recruitment and Talent Acquisition Solutions That Give you an army, not mere employees
Finding The Right Talent For the Right Job
A study by Getapp Labs has found out that about 40% of global companies agree to the fact that there is a shortage of skilled candidates for specific job roles. Also, 17% of the same
companies also agree that hiring processes are the toughest recruitment hurdle they face.
While there are other factors such as the economic uncertainties, competition and performance measurement among the major challenges, one cannot ignore the 80-20 rule that pertains here.
For any business, finding the right person for a job is of the utmost importance. While there are simple solutions such as the contract to hire and contract staffing solutions, these are more towards the base level functions which involve the smooth progress of the processes.
In order to hire a highly skilled and executive level officers for your company, you need to think out of the box. One needs to exercise high caution while screening through profiles. This high-level individual would soon be the face of your firm and help you maintain, uphold and promote growth through their service.
Furthermore, such professionals are expected to work with you in the longer run. But how do you go about hiring such professionals?
Typical headhunting firms follow a straight down narrow hiring funnel that is almost the very same that contractual hiring companies follow. But talent acquisition for higher ranks and executive positions should be bigger and they cannot afford to screen the individual the conventional way.
Do You Need a third party firm for direct hire?
In all technicality, direct hire refers to you as a company directly choosing an individual to vet and hire them for your company. You as a company would directly approach this professional, look for credentials and see if they suit your recruitment and then hand over an offer directly to them. That’s how it goes about.
But as we have seen that with more and more businesses entering the game of higher talent acquisition, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find skilled professionals. Also, focussing on talent acquisition could be an exhaustive task for service or product focussed companies which would rather focus their efforts and energies on business than on hiring.
One might also argue that given the inexperience of a company in hiring, they may take up decisions that may return to hurt their productivity and this is absolutely true.
Even in a direct hire process, a hiring company would help guide you through the selection process, vetting and funnelling down onto prospective and affirmative candidates that would prove to be the best there are.
How do we do it
Talent acquisition is a science that is being perfected every day every hour. One cannot directly display a single picture and hope that it solves all of the major hiring problems nor can it act as a definitive template for hiring.
But the following 8 are some of the majorly placed and working dots that connect you to a great workforce
Optimize your career site
Your career portal is where you start with. It is the foremost place where a prospective candidate lands before they take the next step and this is also the tool that lets your hiring team bring in prospective hires. It does not have to be a revolutionizing platform that lets your users create projects or make the next big thing. It could be a simple web page that lets the prospect understand how it is to work with you, the non-monetary benefits, the culture and a place that encourages them to apply.
Write clear job descriptions
This is applicable not just for your career page but also for all of your hiring collaterals. The job description page would and should create a lasting impact on the prospect that makes them want to work with you. The copy should be concise, consistent and clear that would emphasize the cultural value, and the employee value proposition and not just the roles and responsibilities.
Create an Ideal User Profile
Important internal collateral, in order to hire the best, you cannot expect a hoard of resumes/profiles for you to choose. Instead, build an ideal profile and place it as a benchmark. Any profile that comes in can be vetted against this profile to get a closer percentage of similarity or resonance and thus would be helpful in declaring a candidate.
Recruitment Marketing tools
A recruitment marketing tool would take in your ideal user profile and promote it across a range of platforms that it deems fit of a place where your prospect may be available. Also termed as an alternative inbound recruiting, these methods aid in higher candidate relationship management and thus improve how a candidate feels about the company. No matter whether the candidate is hired or not, he/she would be leaving with a positive impact on your company and would further improve this image through referrals and other ways.
Implementation of Employee Referral Programs
Research by Getapp has concluded that referrals are the shortest forms of hiring and often lead to higher employee retention and guarantee a talented workforce.
While employees continually refer to good talent, this could be made into mainstream hiring funnel. Incorporation of referral programs that benefit not just the candidate but also the employee would be a tight hit. You would find your ideal candidate and thus it could help cut down a great deal of hiring costs and efforts
Incorporation of Applicant Tracking Systems:
Applicant tracking systems, as part of the Recruitment Marketing tools, would aid in tracking potential candidates and help further the process. Even upon rejection, you would be possessing a great deal of skilled data that you can engage with by sending invaluable and educational content that can empower your brand as an employer and thus further your referrals for greater talent.
