What is Contracting?
Contractors offer consultancy services to a company for a set period of time. Companies may choose to engage contractors instead of permanent staff to complete a one off project or to meet short term fluctuations in business activity. You will contract with a company, usually through a recruitment agency, to perform pre-determined tasks over a set period of time.  It is commonplace for the contracts to be extended.

Contractors
Temporary and Contract working is an increasingly popular career choice with some 1.2 million people temping every day, more and more people are viewing contracting as a career and lifestyle choice rather than just a stopgap between permanent positions.

For the individual – temporary assignments and contracts offer a unique work/life balance, allowing people to work when they want to and take extended holidays in between.

For companies – it provides flexibility, to take on temporary workforce during busy times such as end of financial year or special projects.
