Contracting

person signing a contract
After 20 years in the industry, we have seen first-hand the benefits of integrating contracting 
into your talent strategy:
  • Addresses seasons business fluctuations
  • Provides an alternative solution where permanent headcount and budget restrictions exist or as an interim solution during a permanent recruitment process.
  • Brings diversified skillset to your projects.
  • Simplifies your responsibilities – we manage the payroll admin.
  • Gives you the time to determine if a long-term fit is right.

Contracting FAQs

Within this system, the candidate will complete their weekly timesheets for your approval.

If you're using Astute to approve timesheets, these articles from the Astute Help Centre might be helpful.
