Cost Efficient Contractor Management Solutions

A Temporary and Contract desk is proving itself as a key factor in sustaining a competitive and robust marketplace within the recruitment industry in Australia. With the growth of the contingent workforce, it is imperative that recruiters adapt and streamline their processes and operations to accommodate this workforce.

Last year the recruitment market saw a steady and stable development, however some recruitment agencies still faced cash flow challenges which hindered their growth opportunities. The year ahead still may bring some level of uncertainty; however it is important to seek new and improved ways of doing things. With some industry professionals forecasting that Australia will continue a steady economic growth for 2013; according to Trading Economics the unemployment rate in Australia increased to 5.6% in March 2013 from 5.4% in February 2013. When unemployment rates rise, the demand for contractors and the temporary workforce also rise.

Engaging contractors and temps poses increased management challenges. For example, the increased amount of administration duties, receivables management, policy compliance and contractual obligations for managing the contingent workforce.
