Further complicating matters are our client's own internal hiring processes, which can slow down the ability to hire skilled full-time IT professionals. TrueBridge Resources works in generating customized contract staffing options, which in turn, allow our clients to meet their growing workloads and demands. It keeps their staffing costs flexible rather than fixed. Such contract staffing approaches also allow our clients to evaluate a contractor’s on-the-job performance before extending a permanent position.

By engaging a contractor, the risk on the client side is greatly reduced by placing more of a burden on firms such as ours. It also allows them to be more nimble in their hiring decisions and increases the speed of on-boarding. The contract and contract-to-hire process is nothing new to IT professionals as companies have been utilizing them for years; specifically the Fortune 500. The trepidation people have felt in the past about contracting seems to have subsided for the most part given the current state of the economy. It is a beneficial staffing strategy for companies of almost any size that will transcend our current economic situation.

Temps can have a "commodity" skill set, and be tasked with day-to-day operations, while your "keepers" are FTEs that have company-specific knowledge or skills, work on projects, oversee day-to-day operations, and interface with the business. I think every IT organization should have a few temps that can be shed in the event of a staff reduction.
