Contractors and resources on a Statement of Work (SOW) can be a great option for specialized projects, shorter term work and even seasonal hiring demand. While also offering the flexibility to extend on an as-needed basis, contract or SOW hiring may be the best fit for your team.

Contractors can often start work immediately and hit the ground running which can help to accelerate project timelines and ensure your team is meeting tight deadlines. Agile understands that critical projects often require niche skills and deep technical knowledge, and we take pride in our ability to identify resources who not only meet but exceed these specialized requirements. Through a rigorous screening process, we ensure you get the right fit the first time.

For some roles, it might make the most sense to utilize a ‘try before you buy’ approach; contract-to-hire is a great option for this. This delivery method offers the best of both worlds by combining the flexibility and speed of hiring a contractor with the potential to transition the resource to a full-time position if the opportunity arises.

Hiring managers have the ability to evaluate a resource’s performance prior to offering full-time employment while also allowing the resource a trial period to evaluate the company and position for themselves. Contract-to-hire arrangements also typically involve quicker onboarding turn-around times as the contractor is already familiar with the role and company and can make a smoother transition.

Hiring someone on fulltime may be the best option for your team and comes with some distinct advantages. Full time employees offer consistency and stability and often integrate more deeply into the team and company culture than temporary workers. FTEs are perfect for long-term planning and ongoing involvement in critical initiatives and can offer training to less established contractors or more junior employees.

Agile knows that full time employees are strategic hires which is why we maintain an extensive database of candidates with a proven track record of longevity and success ready to take your company to the next level.
