Assisting your contract recruitment needs on an international scale

With teams based across each region, we give you access to a large network of niche, contract & project-focused professionals, with specialist across hundreds of skills. This international network, combined with local knowledge, enables us to support global operating companies with roles in multiple regions.

In your local region, each of our specialist recruiters have built an in-depth understanding of the freelance community within their niche market. Our structure gives you access to a network of skilled individuals that we regularly keep in touch with. We create talent pools of pre-screened, readily available candidates meaning we can fully support your speed-to-market options and reduce your time-to-fill roles significantly.

Bringing together our micro-networks across regions enables a wider global hiring strategy, giving you the same high-quality candidates no matter which region you’re hiring in.

Quality and compliance throughout our contract process

Our ability to respond quickly doesn’t mean we compromise on quality or compliance. Our clear and consistent contract recruitment, screening and aftercare processes ensure all candidates are fully compliant with regional laws throughout your hiring & onboarding.

Behind the scenes, our processes leverage the power of recruitment technology and AI to reduce the administrative burden on our clients.

After placement, our award-winning back-office services and contractor care team ensure legal compliance, smooth payment, and invoicing processes and a streamlined administrative workload for you.

If you have both permanent and freelance hiring needs, don’t worry - we also have teams specialising in permanent recruitment hiring solutions. Find out more here.

Our contract hiring process

from scoping to offer

Our regionally tailored contract recruitment processes cover everything from initial scoping to post-placement compliance, reducing your time-to-fill and administrative burden. Across all our regions, we have a transparent ‘tried & tested’ contract process, which we then tailor to your niche requirements, business need and regional hiring laws. Using mapping, insights and activating our extensive community networks, we can mobilise and jump into action, quickly, ensuring business or project success. For you this could look like:

Initial Contract Recruitment Scoping

At the beginning of every new partnership, we take the time to understand your company and specific hiring requirements, to ensure we provide the right contract talent first time round. This also enables us to represent your company authentically to our regional talent pools.

Tailored Contractor Sourcing Plan

Using our market intelligence, our consultants will produce a tailored sourcing plan, specific to your role requirements. Your tailored plan will include access to our extensive network (active & passively looking), technical screening & an inclusivity-driven approach, resulting in the freelancers best-suited to your hiring needs.

Contract business discussions

Our specialist consultants manage the business discussion process, ensuring all candidates put forward are fully briefed and guided through the process, reducing administration time for you. We gather detailed feedback post-meeting from either side to ensure a transparent and positive experience with your brand - whether successful or unsuccessful.

Post-Placement Compliance & Contractor Aftercare

Our specialist customer care and compliance team lead on a fully compliant onboarding, timesheet & invoicing processes throughout the contract duration. Meanwhile our specialist consultants, complete post-placement check ins, manage extensions requests going beyond the initial transaction.

Regional Hiring Advice and Market Intelligence

We will provide regional hiring advice, localised market intelligence and payrate benchmarking to help you make informed decisions within the specialist market landscape.

Candidate Screening, Right-to-work & Compliance Checks

All candidates are screened and qualified against regional compliance laws, right-to-work checks and your technical specifications - before you even see their CV. This ensures every contractor you enter a business discussion with, will have a smooth and compliant end-to-end process if onboarded.

Contractor Pay Rate and Offer Negotiation

Working with both parties, we will ensure you land your first-choice candidates with no surprises. Our specialist consultants are trained in facilitating payrate and start date negotiations, as well as validating transparency around workplace expectations, time off and any other questions which may arise.

What you get from our contractor hiring team

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.
Objective, specialist-led delivery - A dedicated implementation team, built around your project, 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 collaboration and alignment that individually sourced hires rarely achieve.
Predictable, 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.
