Contract staffing, also known as temporary or contingent staffing, has long been a solution for employers to meet short-term or variable staffing needs, while providing candidates with the opportunity to gain seasonal work or work between permanent positions. Temporary employees are no longer viewed as just being lower-level, non-essential and less-committed workers. In fact, the recession of 2008 introduced many companies to the value of having contractors as a significant portion of their workforce.

With the arrival of resume management systems, ATS/CRM, and job boards - just to name a few - the possibilities of technology has significantly changed the landscape of recruitment… but many believe that recruiters are still holding back on investing in recruiting Tech for various reasons. Though Recruitment technology is lauded for its fast time-to-value and long-term cost & time-saving benefits, how do recruiters really feel about the rise of recruiting software and technology?

There is a push to hire veterans…why? The question is important because thousands of men and women are leaving the armed forces due to their enlistments/contracts ending or because of the Department of Defense’s downsizing initiative. I fully expect hiring managers to see an increase in the volume of CV/resume’s crossing their desks next year and for years to come.

It has now been just over two months since San Francisco passed The San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, No. 17-14 prohibiting both public and private employers with at least 20 employees from asking about an applicant’s criminal past on his or her job application or in an initial interview, as well as on applications for affordable housing within the city. Similar legislation, now known as “Ban the Box,” has been enacted in 12 states for public employers, while five states have enacted laws applying to private employers. Much controversy has followed this legislation, raising questions as to whether its intended goal will warrant the many hurdles employers must now clear. Let’s examine the issue from both sides of the coin.

The interview process is the hiring manager’s opportunity to get to know a top candidate’s personality, values, and communication skills on a deeper level than on paper or in telephone interviews. In Hire Like You Just Beat Cancer, Jim Roddy emphasizes the importance of using unique interview questions to assess skills and personality, and cautions interviewers and hiring managers to not let themselves be blinded by singular stellar aspects of a candidate’s abilities.

I grew-up in recruitment, specifically the temporary staffing industry, in the heyday of consolidation. When I started, clients were working with multiple staffing services, metrics and reporting were unimaginable across the client enterprise and there were no systems beyond rudimentary time keeping clocks. When I left the industry, single vendors had morphed into Managed Services Providers with visibility globally into metrics at every level, deep dive analytics and very slim margins; the staffing industry had officially been commoditized.

Contracting is no longer a last resort but a conscious choice for workers. It’s no secret that more and more companies are using contractors, and it’s not hard to figure out why. The flexibility and cost savings contract staffing provides have made it a key part of companies’ strategic planning in the wake of the recession. Don’t believe, however, that companies are the only ones that benefit. A growing number of workers are consciously choosing to work as contractors due to the following benefits it provides:

The competition for top talent attraction and retention is fierce. As a result, companies have upped their game and implemented intuitive HR technology solutions to support today’s workforce.
