Further information can be discussed in a complimentary consultation with our Contracting team, get in touch with us today. Why hire contractors? How contractors can help your businessContract workers can help keep your costs down by only requiring payment for the hours worked. This means no holiday pay, bonuses, or rewards that you would be required to pay full-time employees. Contractors can also be the ideal solution for when you are not sure if you want to create a new position in the company, or if you want to trial a worker.Additionally, temporary contracts give you the freedom of hiring for the short term to see if the staff member will truly be a good fit for the company, without having to worry about how to deal with the situation if they aren’t quite right.Fast impact. Contract workers are often available to start at short notice. At Michael Page, we pride ourselves on a fast turnaround, sometimes as little as a day. In addition, we help you find highly skilled professionals who can hit the ground running. Short-term workers provide an immediate solution for projects and seasonal demands: one that can have an immediate impact.Shorter notice periods. If your organisation experiences a sudden change or a project finishes sooner than expected you do not have to maintain your contract, temporary and interim workers. Short notice periods mean your workforce can be adjusted to your business’ needs.Financial savings. You only pay for what you get. Hiring professionals on a contract basis can protect your bottom line as you only pay for the hours worked, without holiday pay, performance rewards, company bonuses or other employee entitlements. In addition, our payment plans allow you to pay as you go, rather than in one lump sum.Trial new staff members or positions. Hiring potential permanent workers on a contract basis allows you to assess how that individual might fit within your company environment. If you’re considering expanding your business you can trial a new full-time role without making a long-term commitment.Talk to us about the many ways in which a temporary worker can benefit you and your company. Where does the contracting talent pool come from? We have a large number of existing candidates in our database. Our Contracting team focuses on filtering and screening potential talent who are interested and suited for contracting assignments to create a contracting specific talent pool. This, coupled with our extensive network and polished search methodologies, allows us to maintain a talent pool that covers the majority of the market. How can temporary workers help my organisation? Contract workers provide extra help for your business with minimal overheads and risk. You might need:An extra pair of hands during busy periodsSpecialist help to manage a key projectTo cover permanent staffers’ holidays or parental leaveSomebody to maintain day-to-day tasks while you recruit for a permanent roleGet the right help at the right time. How will a contractor fit into my organisation? 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. How will hiring contractors benefit my bottom line? The hourly compensation for hiring an independent contractor 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. How do I pay my contractors? We offer a dedicated payroll service so that your contractors will be paid on time and accurately. What are the potential disadvantages of hiring contractors? Contractors are typically hired for short-term work. As such, integrating company culture might be more challenging. Furthermore, some contractors work with more than one client at the same time, sometimes with their own business, which means that it might be harder to retain their services in the long run.

Browse jobs Frequently asked questions about being a contractor If you’ve been thinking about taking on a contracting role, now is a great time to go for it. Here, we've answered some common questions about contracting to help you decide whether you’re ready to switch. What is a contracting role? As a temporary or contract professional, you’re either employed on an interim, temporary or contract basis. Here is a quick run down of the differences:Interim roles are generally created to cater for short or long-term projects. They are usually management roles that require specialist skills. For instance, specialist interim managers can cover the gap that occurs when someone leaves. They handle the job on a day-to-day basis; give you the opportunity to properly assess your future needs for the role, help lift your company to the next level, and in some cases even advise on their long-term replacement. Temporary staff may fill a role for as little as one day. If you are available to work on a temporary basis, we will recommend you to employers who need to fill a role quickly. Contract roles operate in a very similar manner to interim management, however the type of work varies greatly. In some industries contractors are referred to as freelancers, consultants, fixed term contract workers or a contingent workforce.The company hiring decides the specifics of each role, so each role is different. Occasionally a contract role will turn into a permanent position.Contract talent is currently in high demand, so there are many opportunities for you to get your foot in the door now. How much will I get paid as a contractor? Your hourly rate will vary according to your professional skills and experience. Usually you’ll earn more than you would as a full-time employee, to accommodate leave and tax requirements. Can contracting help my career? Exposure to a variety of companies and roles opens up opportunities to make contacts and trial different job types. Each contract role provides the chance to impress a prospective employer, while widening skills and building experience.Some contract professionals base their entire career on contract work because they enjoy the flexibility and variety that contract roles provide. Find out more about the benefits of contracting. How long do contracts normally last? Each contract varies greatly.
