Contract staffing is extensively used for hiring candidates with extensive experience and knowledge on contract basis. This option ensures that you get all the benefits of an accomplished candidate without incurring the long term commitment of a permanent hire. This helps organizations to quickly ramp up project teams with as many qualified consultants as are required to fill short-term or long-term needs. Difference between Contract and temporary staffing is that the former staffing option is done for each individual position and not for the function as whole. Contract employees are individually chosen and hence are generally more professional. As the name suggests, association between the organization and the employee lasts for fixed duration and is subject to renewal.

Contract staffing helps companies add to the workforce selectively and in specific areas.
