Are you currently on the quest for tech contractors to fill a skill gap within your organisation but can’t seem to find the perfect candidate for the role? Maybe it’s time to ask for an expert’s help!


It’s not a secret that finding a contractor that possesses the right skills and expertise is a challenge that a lot of organisations in Aotearoa share in common. With the demand for top talent soaring now more than ever, ensuring that you find the perfect candidate could be a daunting and time-consuming task which a recruitment provider can easily and efficiently do for you!


Partnering with a trusted recruitment agency like Recruit I.T. can alleviate the burdensome nature of hiring, all the while being flexible, and time and cost-efficient.


In this blog, we’ll delve into the barriers that come to mind, and the transformative benefits of using a recruitment provider in securing the ideal contractor for your tech endeavours, so keep on reading!


1. Extensive talent pool

One of the top benefits of partnering with a recruitment agency when hiring contractors is the wide array of talent available for you to scan and choose from. Recruit I.T., for example, has built an extensive talent pool of highly skilled contractor talent in New Zealand ensuring you get only the best in the industry.


Recruitment agencies like Recruit I.T. have developed vast networks and built connections within the community, and by leveraging these networks, you can quickly tap into the talent pool, select, and screen candidates according to your specific requirements.


2. Time and Cost-efficient

When you choose to partner with a recruitment provider, you save valuable time and reduce costs associated with the hiring process.

Recruit I.T. does this best as we have developed an engagement model that aims to scale the hiring process and reduce your time to fill. We conduct everything from start to finish – sourcing, screening, interviewing, and shortlisting, allowing you to save time, cost, and resources.


With a recruitment provider like Recruit I.T., you can offload time-consuming recruitment responsibilities to a dedicated and highly skilled team. You benefit from a dedicated point of contact, in this case an Account Manager, who would be backed by the wider Recruit I.T. delivery team to ensure you get the right contractors and outcome.


Our engagement model aims to put you and your business goals first, by helping you secure top talent across Aotearoa. This allows you to focus more on your core business activities while making sure that the hiring process is in the best hands and remains efficient and streamlined.


3. Industry expertise

Recruitment agencies possess deep industry knowledge and expertise in the sector of your choice.


Recruit I.T., for example, has a proven track record of over 15 years’ industry experience, and our consultants have more than 150 years  of collective experience amongst them in the New Zealand market. We stay abreast of the latest trends, rates, talent and industry insights, skill requirements, and emerging technologies. This knowledge enables us to understand your specific needs and source candidates with the right skill sets and experiences.


With a finger on the pulse of the industry, recruitment agencies can provide valuable insights and guidance throughout the hiring process to help you make informed decisions when selecting contractors.



4. Flexibility and Scalability

The dynamic nature of the tech industry often requires businesses to be agile and adaptable. Hiring contractors through a recruitment provider offers flexibility and scalability you need to meet your organisation’s changing demands.


Whether you require short-term contractors for a specific project or a long-term contractor to fill skill gaps, recruitment agencies can match your requirements with the right professionals. This allows you to scale your workforce quickly and efficiently, saving you from the challenges of onboarding and training new employees.


Additionally, we ensure they bring the appropriate expertise and skills to hit the ground running, being productive from day one.
 

5. Risk mitigation

Recruitment agencies like Recruit I.T. play a crucial role in mitigating the risks associated with hiring contractors. We handle everything – even administrative tasks, including compliance checks, background verifications, insurance, and contract negotiations.   


By warranting that contractors meet all legal and regulatory requirements, we reduce the risk of non-compliance and potential legal issues that may arise. Additionally, we can provide contract management and payrolling services, ensuring smooth operations and minimising any potential disruptions.


Finding the right recruitment partner is crucial to ensure you get only top and highly skilled contractors who fit your requirements and organisation. Partnering with one like Recruit I.T. offers numerous benefits, without leaving a hole in your pocket and understanding your demands.
