THE NEW GENERATION OF CONTRACTORS

Project Resource Partners has witnessed an increasing trend in the hiring of senior executives or contract consultants for advice on operational issues, business transformation and Change Management, growth strategy, potential mergers and acquisitions or Program / Project Management and delivery.
Subsequently, a new generation of executive contractors has emerged. Ex-executives, senior managers, change managers and project professionals from a range of backgrounds have chosen to pursue project-based careers independent of any major consulting firm and the request for their services is gaining momentum at a rapid pace.
More and more of our clients are recognising the benefits of utilising contractors who can bring a specific skill set aligned to the business requirement or project negating the need to pull a not necessarily qualified existing employee away from BAU. Using the services of an experienced executive contractor also avoids the inevitable exorbitant cost associated with using a traditional management consulting firm.
The senior contract talent pool is often an ex-executive or management consultant who is interested in diversifying their portfolio of work. They want to utilise their skills on challenging assignments that exercise their talents whilst enjoying the autonomy and flexibility that contract work can bring.
As a growing numbers of professionals decide that they prefer to work on a temporary basis, organisations are finding ways to work with them. The necessity for lean management teams, focus on cost reduction, and a rapidly changing economy combine to make interim solutions a compelling option.
Project Resource Partners specialise in attracting and providing high calibre specialist skilled contract resources for projects, temporary periods or fixed duration contracts.
With a focus on Change Management and Business Transformation, our flexible contract resource pool can provide a wide range of business skills to your organisation supporting continuity and driving performance cost effectively.
