FAQsWhat you need to know about hiring contractors
The business uncertainty generated by COVID-19 has meant that many companies are pausing their perm recruitment processes. Hiring contractors is becoming a more popular solution to manage workload while retaining the flexibility to adapt to changing business conditions. Naturally, the impact of COVID-19 varies greatly between industries and businesses and will continue to develop over time.
Contractors add value to your business without incurring substantial risks and addressing headcount costs and issues. They can be hired to cover permanent staffers’ holidays, project based, parental leave, as well as an extra pair of hands during busy periods. Furthermore, they help to maintain day-to-day tasks while you recruit for a permanent role.
The hourly compensation for hiring contractors might seem higher when compared to a permanent role, but there are other factors to take into consideration, such as flexibility and employee benefits. Since contracting provides greater flexibility in this regard, it can thus be a more cost-effective strategy in the long run.

Contractors are typically hired for short-term work. As such, integrating company culture might be more challenging. Furthermore, some contractors work for several clients at the same time, which means that it might be harder to retain their services in the long run.
