How can IT Contract Staffing value add to your company?
Access to Passive Candidates
The dynamic nature of the IT industry and its peaks and troughs contribute to the complexities of IT businesses. The need to review hundreds of applications and rounds of interviews can be a time-consuming process. On the other hand, hiring IT contract staff with the help of consultants who are experts in this industry will significantly shorten the hiring processes and time which will result in faster staff deployment rate and turnaround time to meet internal timelines.
Headcount & Work Pass limit
Under the Headcount Modelling structure, organisations usually have a headcount limit to adhere to, even when the department is in need of extra hands and full-time employees are fully-loaded. With IT Contract Staffing, companies are able to hire additional IT contract staff without having to worry about meeting the approved headcount. In addition to local Singaporean and Singapore PR contract talents, the foreign IT contract staff can be hired under the employment pass, S-pass, or work permit arrangement.
Hire Specialise Talents
In the IT business world, technology is ever-changing. The invention of new technical tools or platforms could lead to rapid growth which the company might not be prepared to meet the capacity. During times of unexpected and high growth, organisations will leverage on IT Contract Staffing to fill immediate capacity gaps.
Trusted Advisor
IT involves a lot of complicated assignments and operations that require IT talents who are good at what they are doing. With IT Contract Staffing, it allows companies to gain access to the additional brainpower and IT expertise they need to get the job done, and also the flexibility to scale back once it has been completed.
