Salesforce Contractors: The Future of Hiring?

In uncertain times, it’s key to have low-risk partnerships that you can count on. Hireforce is a specialized service provider partnering with Salesforce Customers, Salesforce Implementation Partners, and Salesforce ISVs that have a need to hire Salesforce professionals on a contract, contract-to-hire, or permanent basis.

 

As we continue to navigate uncharted waters of the pandemic, companies continue to put their direct hire searches on hold. However, many clients are hiring contractors to continue their Salesforce projects over the course of the next few months. Adding contractors to your team is a low-risk option, allowing you to make progress on Salesforce projects and initiatives without the risk or cost of hiring a permanent employee.

 

Hiring contractors isn’t new to companies, rather a well-kept secret for many. According to CNBC, “Google, Facebook, Amazon, Uber...employ thousands of contract workers to do a host of functions — anything from sales and writing code to managing teams and testing products.” In fact, as of 2018 contract workers outnumbered direct employees at Google for the first time in the company’s 20-year history. (Sheng, 2018).

 

Benefits of Utilizing Contractors:

 

●      Hireforce’s contractors are thoroughly vetted Salesforce professionals who are experienced and comfortable working on a project basis and aim to make an impact as quickly as possible.

●      Contractors do not need the extensive onboarding that a permanent hire requires, as they are used to getting ramped up quickly and can start remote or on-site.

●      Contractors help to keep official headcount low and, because contract workers do not require the same benefits as a fulltime employee, such as healthcare benefits or 401(k) matching, this can help companies free up millions to utilize elsewhere to grow the business.

●      Contractors are a financially low-risk option, as the client is only charged for the approved hours a contractor has worked, as well as the client is able to reduce or increase hours as needed. Furthermore, a contract can be terminated immediately, at any point in time, giving flexibility for unforeseen circumstances, budget cuts, etc.

●      If the contractor turns out to be a great long-term fit for your organization, and you would like to hire them as a full-time employee, you may do so at any point throughout the project.
