Contract Recruitment also widely known as contract staffing is a type of staffing model where individuals are hired on a short-term basis for a specific project or as part of their in-house team to help during seasonal workloads. There are several contract recruitment agencies that can provide contract staffing services to clients to help fulfil their workforce needs. A contract recruiter after getting the brief of a client’s staffing needs, sources, screens and hires contract-based employees for them.
Why you Need Contract Recruitment?
Contract Recruitment can help businesses to adapt to the changing conditions of an uncertain market and the shifts in consumer demand by providing them with the right talent for specific projects or as an extension of their team to help with extra work for a short period of time.
Some of the reasons why you need Contract Recruitment are
Flexibility
With contract recruitment, organizations can employ candidates for only a specific period of time for a particular project or as an extension of their current workforce to help during seasonal workloads. The approach allows businesses to customize the contract as per their needs. When the contract ends, employers may proceed to hire them as permanent employees or not depending on their workforce requirements at the time.
Cost savings
Contract workers are workers hired on a temporary basis and do not fall under the full-time employees’ section. So, unlike full time employees they aren’t entitled to benefits such as paid leaves, pensions or other benefits. Additionally, working with a contract recruiter can help save a ton of time for your internal recruiters as the former can take care of HR functions for you.
Expertise
Since you will be hiring talent to particularly help on specific projects, you will hire individuals who have the expertise and do not require any prior training. Contract workers also typically work remotely, which means you can hire outside your locality, allowing you to access specialized skills unavailable locally.
Eliminates risk
Contract recruitment eliminates risks of litigation and HR disputes as the contractors are not your full-time employees. By the nature of your working arrangement, they are not entitled to the same legal protections and benefits as full-time permanent employees.
Trial period
Contract recruitment can even be changed into full-time employment for the candidate, depending on whether your company sees fit to onboard them as permanent employees. You can use the contract period to decide whether they are the right fit for your company.
During this trial period, you can see what they can do and how they integrate into your organization before committing to hiring them full-time.
Our Approach
As one of the top contract employment agencies in the country, Alp Consulting uses effective hiring practices to ensure our clients get the talent they need.
1
Identification of workforce needs
Before starting the recruitment process, the client must identify their talent needs, meaning the position they are looking to hire for, skill requirements for a specific project etc and communicate the same to us.
2
Crafting a job description
Upon establishing your talent needs, we move on to craft a job description that specifies the nature of the job role as well as the educational and skill requirements you need from the candidate.
3
Source, Screen and Interview
We are a professional contract placement agency who take care of the hiring process from start to finish. Our experienced contract recruiters can handle everything for you and recommend and source top quality candidates for the role from a pre-screened database of candidates.
We move on to screen the candidates based on skills, experience and suitability for the role. We use the best tools and assessments for screening the best candidates and choose the one that best fits the role.
The final list of candidates is set up to have interviews with the concerned hiring team. The best of the final list is then selected and is offered the job.
4
Negotiation
Upon finalising the final candidate, we will help negotiate the terms of the contract with the employee by covering the essentials like their working hours, salary, benefits and the compensation you are willing to offer them.
5
Onboarding
Upon both parties agreeing on the contract terms, you can proceed to signing the contract. Then, you kickstart the onboarding process.
This is where you provide your contract worker with more information about the role and their daily tasks. You should also use this opportunity to set expectations, introduce them to other team members, and make them feel welcome.
6
Monitor the performance
Once the contract starts, as your official third-party contract recruitment agency, we make sure that we stay on and help monitor the performance of the contracted employee and encourage feedback from the client. This we do to help employers decide if they are suitable for the role/if they would like to take them as full-time employees/ just for the contractual period.
7
Termination of contract
Finally, when the contract period ends, you can take some time to assess and evaluate the performance of your contract worker. At this point, you must decide whether to extend the contract as an independent contractor, onboard them as a permanent employee, or terminate the arrangement and go your separate ways.
