Contract Staffing Options
Contract Staffing - Flexibility for Changing Needs
-
Contract staffing is rooted in the concept that businesses can address their dynamic needs by enlisting skilled professionals on a temporary basis. This approach empowers organizations to scale their workforce in response to project demands, tap into specialized expertise for initiatives, and fill in gaps during employee leaves. Additionally, it enables effective cost management by sidestepping the long-term commitments linked to permanent hires.
Assignments within this framework may range from a few weeks to several years, with our typical contract durations spanning between 6 to 9 months.
-
SalesFirst Recruiting provides contract staffing for Marketing, Recruiting, and Customer Service roles. While professionals in these areas are well-versed in contract positions, sales professionals historically have not been as accustomed. The unique challenges within the sales function make contract staffing less ideal for achieving sustained success.
-
Opt for the flexibility of having SalesFirst directly hire and contract skilled professionals to you at a reasonable hourly rate, instead of making a one-time payment for short-term hires. This approach provides cost-effectiveness, allowing you to access expertise without committing to a long-term financial obligation.
Each candidate will have a unique, pre-agreed-upon hourly rate for your approval.
Test Drive Your Talent - Explore the Benefits of Temp-to-Hire
-
SalesFirst Recruiting recommends Temp-to-hire when our clients want to establish a trial period before making an official offer.
This approach is often seen as mutually beneficial to both the employer and candidate. It provides employers with the opportunity to assess a candidate's skills and cultural fit in a real-world work setting, while candidates can experience the culture firsthand.
Additionally, this trial period fosters open communication, allowing both parties to make informed decisions about a potential long-term commitment.
-
Whenever the term "probationary period" arises, our steadfast recommendation is opting for temp-to-hire instead. Though originally designed with good intentions, mismanaged probationary periods have resulted in legal challenges. Navigating these periods has grown progressively complex for employers, given the varying legal nuances across different courts nationwide.
Temp-to-Hire arrangements present a sensible alternative to mitigate risks and ensure a smoother hiring process. This approach allows employers to assess candidates' suitability on the job without exposing themselves to the legal risks associated with traditional probationary periods.
-
SalesFirst Recruiting offers Temp-to-Hire for Marketing Positions, Recruiter Positions, and Customer Service roles.
Much like contract staffing, Marketing and Recruiting Professionals are acquainted with temp-to-hire positions, whereas sales professionals have not embraced this approach.
-
Temp-to-Hire is designed to keep the overall cost comparable to a Direct Hire Fee. The distinction lies in the payment structure—instead of a one-time fee, employers pay an hourly rate for 90 work days (or 520 work hours). Beyond this period, the candidate becomes eligible for permanent hire without incurring any additional fees.
