Our Contract Hiring Process
From scoping to offer
Our tailored contract recruitment processes cover everything from initial scoping to post-placement compliance, reducing your time-to-fill and administrative burden. We have a transparent ‘tried & tested’ process, which we then tailor to your niche requirements and business need. Here is a general overview of what to expect.
Initial scoping and IR35 assessment
We take time to understand your requirements and run an IR35 assessment to confirm the right engagement structure from the outset.
Tailored sourcing plan
Access to our active and passive network, technical screening, and an inclusivity-driven approach.
Business discussions
Managed end-to-end, with feedback gathered from both sides.
Post-placement compliance and aftercare
Onboarding, timesheets, and invoicing managed throughout the contract, with regular check-ins.
Regional hiring advice and market intelligence
Localised insight and pay-rate benchmarking, reflecting real demand across London, Manchester, and Leeds.
Screening, right-to-work, and compliance checks
Every candidate is checked against compliance requirements before you see their CV.
Pay rate and offer negotiation
Rate, start date, and expectations agreed with no surprises.
A Consultative Experience Adding Value
At Each Stage
What you get from a specialist contractor
- Rapid access to high-impact expertise - Deploy specialist talent the moment you need it, so momentum never stalls while you secure the right long-term hire or strategy.
- Support for scalable delivery - Bring in niche skills exactly when a project demands them - for one-off integrations, complex implementations, or transformation work that can't wait.
- Flexibility with proven experience - Every contractor arrives with a breadth of experience across projects, industries, and environments, bringing fresh perspective and practical insight from day one.
- Streamlined operations, fully handled - We take on the admin and compliance load, so your team's energy stays where it belongs: on delivering the outcomes that matter.
Benefits of project-based contract hiring
- Rapid scaling with minimal disruption - Scale up or down as demand shifts, without your day-to-day operations or stakeholder priorities missing a beat.
- Objective, specialist-led delivery - A dedicated implementation team, built around your project's exact requirements, brings an external perspective focused solely on your objectives and milestones.
- Cohesive team dynamics from day one - Teams are assembled to work as one from the outset, creating the kind of collaboration and alignment that individually sourced hires rarely achieve.
- Transparent cost management - Project teams are benchmarked against current market rates, giving you cost certainty where fluctuating permanent hiring costs - salaries, NI, tax obligations - can't.
