Service

Contract Staffing

Interim specialists deployed into your team on fixed-term, day-rate or project engagements. Same vetting standard as our permanent placements — no CV-shuffling, no bench-warming.

What's included

What you actually get

  • Day-rate and fixed-term contractors

    Independent contractors and PAYE consultants deployed on rolling or defined-length engagements. Onboarded in days, not weeks.

  • Project and interim leadership

    Interim heads of function, transformation leads and programme managers for defined pieces of work with a clear end state.

  • Compliance and payroll handled

    Right-to-work checks, contractor agreements, insurance verification and payroll processing all handled by us — you receive one clean invoice.

  • Backfill and holiday cover

    Short-notice interim cover for maternity, sabbatical or unexpected departures — where the alternative is a role sitting open and the team absorbing the work.

  • Contract-to-hire pipeline

    Where a contract-to-hire structure fits, we scope the conversion terms up front so the transition to a permanent offer at the end of an engagement is straightforward for both sides.

Who it's for

You will recognise yourself in one of these

If none of them describe you, this probably is not the service you need — and we would rather say so on the first call.

  • Teams with a defined project

    A migration, a launch, a rebuild — a body of work that is real and finite, and does not justify adding permanent headcount you would then have to redeploy.

  • Operations under sudden pressure

    Volume, absence or leadership departure has left a specific capability short — you need capable people billing by the day, starting inside two weeks.

  • Companies testing a specialisation

    You are considering building an in-house function around a discipline you have never staffed — an interim specialist proves the shape before you commit to hiring permanent.

Our process

How we deliver contract staffing

  1. 01

    Requirements and rates

    Fifteen-minute call to scope the requirement: skills, seniority, day-rate range, expected duration, on-site vs remote. You approve the shortlist criteria before we start outreach.

  2. 02

    Talent-network activation

    First pass through our network of active contractors — most of whom we have placed before, and whose most recent references and rates we already hold on file.

  3. 03

    Screen and CV delivery

    Availability check, rate confirmation, right-to-work verification and a brief technical or competency screen. You typically see profiles inside 48 to 72 hours.

  4. 04

    Onboarding and management

    Contracts issued, insurance verified, timesheet and expenses tooling set up. We manage the commercial and compliance side — you focus on the deliverables.

Why us

What makes this different

Specific to this service, not the usual agency boilerplate.

  • Network of returning contractors

    A large fraction of the contractors we place are people we have placed before. Familiar work standards, faster onboarding, fewer surprises.

  • Compliance carried by us

    IR35 assessments, right-to-work checks, insurance verification and contractor agreements are all handled inside our engagement — one route to a compliant workforce.

  • One consolidated invoice

    Timesheet approvals, expense reconciliation and invoicing rolled into a single monthly line, priced against the day-rate you agreed.

  • Replacement inside the contract

    If a contractor is not the right fit inside the first two weeks of engagement, we replace at no additional cost.
