Attractive Career Choice
Working as a temp has become an attractive career choice for many IT professionals. Many individuals in IT favor contract work because it allows them the freedom to fulfill professional goals while providing the flexibility to better balance their personal and family obligations. Most of the professionals are drawn by the abundance of new challenges, enabling them to gain a wide range of experience in a variety of business environments. Through contract assignments, they are able to improve their skills and maximize their resume qualifications.
Risk Mitigation
With the cost of staff turnover continually rising, employers are compelled to think more about retention and making good hiring decisions. Though advertising campaigns are able to attract a large number of candidates for a job opening, the individuals selected may not be the most qualified or the best-suited person for the job. Employers want to be more careful than ever in making smart hiring choices. Research has shown that the cost of staff turnover can be as high as 50–150% of the employee’s annual salary. For technology based roles, the stakes can be even higher as turnover costs tend to be greater for more complex jobs roles.
Contracting also enables better risk management in terms of roll offs and projects ramp down and other unforeseen circumstances.
