USP’s of Contract Staffing & Permanent Staffing

Staffing is a crucial part of the managerial processes at any organization for both its short-term and long-term goals. Having a skillful and trustworthy set of employees can contribute multitudes to the growth of a company. But building great staff itself depends upon its hiring process as it can either expand or limit the scope of prospect employees. Ideally, a hiring process must be time convenient, cost-effective, and should ensure skillful hiring as per the company’s needs.  If you are an employer seeking change in staff or temporary addition to it, here’s some useful information on some hiring processes that can help improve your hiring.

The choice of the hiring process should be dependent upon the needs of the company. These needs can be categorized as either, ‘Temporary’ or ‘Permanent’ hiring needs. ‘Temporary’ hiring needs are those which lie outside the domain of a company such as marketing, etc., and ‘Permanent’ hiring would be to fill permanent positions in the company.  For further understanding, let’s discuss these categories in the sections below.

Contract Hiring is a temporary form of employment where a company accesses services of a specialist outside of their company. Contractual hiring becomes helpful when company needs a specialist for their ad-hoc projects such as, IT support & Services delivery etc. Some of the benefits of contractual hiring are:

• Zero Hiring Liabilities – No HRO cost
• Project & Time based hiring (Flexible Cost) – Time specific & with renewal options. Since contract based work is time-bound, so is the payment for contractors, unlike permanent employment. A company can conveniently access the services of a contractor for specific projects only.
• Working with domain specialist (SME’s).
• Free Ready replacements, in case of turnaround.
• Controls attritions, save cost of hiring.

Steering a company towards its long-term goals becomes difficult without adequate staffers with relevant skills. Permanent staffing is a traditional hiring solution when it comes to building a full-time team. The following are some benefits of permanent staffing that can contribute to a company’s growth.

•         Reduced overtime cost: Compared to contractual jobs, permanent staffing reduces overtime cost of retaining employees, thus saving extra costs.
•         Growth with training: Permanent staffers can be trained as per the company’s needs organically, which in turn makes them reliable.
•         Operational efficiency: An experienced and well maintained permanent staff can increase operational efficiency by manifolds in terms of time and work quality.

All in all, both ‘Permanent’ and ‘Temporary’ hiring processes have their individual benefits but conducting in-house hiring can hamper a company’s chance to connect with experienced field-specialists and good prospects for permanent. Also, an employer may not get enough time to examine each application closely due to their own work.
