What is the difference between contract staffing and permanent recruitment?

Contract staffing generally refers to temporary assistance that may be required by a company for special projects, parental leaves, peak work periods, urgent situations, employee leaves of absence and more. Contract staffing allows an employer to meet their immediate staffing needs quickly and flexibly. Additionally, employers may want to consider candidates as potential permanent employees by hiring them on contract first.

In contrast, permanent recruitment refers to a more in-depth search process for a candidate who will be hired directly by the employer on a long-term basis.

Either type of employment can be full-time or part-time depending on the employer’s requirements.

What are the benefits of contract
versus permanent employment?


While many job seekers are looking for the stability that comes with permanent employment, contract employment offers several advantages as well. The hiring process is much quicker. Some people prefer the flexibility and variety provided by contract employment. For others, it can be an opportunity to test-drive a company, to see whether it makes sense to accept permanent employment should the company make an offer. In many of our assignments, the contract employee is hired permanently by the company.

Whatever your preference, our aim is to help you find a position that fits your short and long-term career goals.

I am currently working and my employer is not aware of my job search. How will you ensure confidentiality?

We will not present your resume or discuss your career goals with any potential employer without your prior approval. The entire placement process has been designed with a view towards protecting the confidentiality of job candidates. You can depend on our integrity to help maintain yours.

Once I am registered with Administrative Staffing,
how long will it take to be placed?


While we place significant emphasis on a candidate's skills and experience, our primary focus is on "fit" – finding the candidate that fits not only the role, but the company as well. Consequently, we may have the ideal opportunity for you immediately, or it may be some time before the position that's just right for you becomes available. If any of your file details change in the interim, we encourage you to update us whenever possible.
