Make talent quality your leading analytic with skills-based hiring solution.
Call it the gig economy or agile talent, contingency arrangement, etc. It is playing a significant role in global business. Did you know that 30% of companies are keen to replace full-time employees with contingent workers by 2030.
According to Alex Manos, CEO of Beverly Hills Car Club, contingent talent brings invaluable expertise in niche jobs that full-time employees often lack. He believes they’re more apt to use their judgment to complete a project compared to many full-time employees.
Contingent workforce guru, Kathy Harrell Latham suggests companies can improve contingent workforce experience through:
For example, questions like how do you ensure you hire the best contingent talent throw light on a recruiter’s ability to hire the best contingent talent.

Nevertheless, the hiring manager must note that contingent workers will suffer from lower. There are also chances for core employees to feel threatened by the temp’s skills and expertise.
