Contract Interim Assignment – The Business Case


Why Consider the Use of Contract/Interim Assignments

The use of Contract Business Professionals is typically driven by some form of business uncertainty. This uncertainty comes in many forms but typically manifests in a real and large surge in work where current resources are insufficient to meet the demand (quantity and/or quality)

Q: What Triggers Work Surge?

A: Business Uncertainty.


Q: What form does this Uncertainty Take?

A:

1. Changing Corporate/Market Conditions
   
   
   • Rapid Growth
   • Downsizing/Contraction
   • Transition/Turnaround
   • Seasonal Staffing


2. Projects – Project Primes or Backfill for Staff Positions
   
   
   • Systems Implementation/Integration
   • Business Process Re-Engineering
   • New Company Initiatives


3. Corporate Finance & Regulatory Compliance
   
   
   • M&A Activity
   • IPO (Pre and Post)
   • Regulatory Compliance (SOX, Bill 198, OSC MI 52-111, etc…)
   • Year-End, Month-End


4. Staff Attrition
   
   
   • Parental Leave
   • Short-Notice Staff Departure

When work surge occurs, contract employment offers clients a cost-effective and a low-to-no-risk way to:

1. Assess the true demand and business case for a permanent resource


2. Specifically match resource application and its associated costs to work duration. That way when the work goes away so too do the costs.
