Additional benefits of contractors
– Although commonly misunderstood, most contractors prefer longer contracts. If anything it will be your permanent candidates that are leaving your jobs to go contracting.
– No recruitment finder’s fee. Which if a permanent member decides to leave is thrown away.
– Another misconception is that contractors gain the knowledge then leave, when in fact they can impart their knowledge and experience to you and the team.
– Contractors work on a day rate so their work mentality is to work at their full potential from day 1.
– Contractors are able to hit the ground running, and do not take as much time to get up to scratch on your systems as maybe as permanent developer would.
– Flexible Notice periods and end dates on contract.
