EMPLOYER PERSPECTIVE
Organizations today are faced with ever changing and complex competitive markets. Companies need to be adaptive and flexible in responding to market forces. Strategy reformulation and implementation is not restricted only to changes in market strategies and product line offerings. Management must also ensure a strategically fit workforce for continued success. Continually shifting competitive market forces require timely flexible staffing solutions. Generally expressed, today's overall market is referred to as the "flexible economy". This is defined as individuals, organizations and institutions that must efficiently adjust their goals and resource allocations in light of changing market conditions.
The current Canadian accounting and finance professional labour market is now characterized by a steady increase in short-term contract roles. This new work force is often referred to as the “gig economy”. Contract work has become a growing force in today's marketplace and will continue to expand. As a result, many companies have incorporated short term hires as a key component to developing and managing a successful business.

We believe there are many benefits to hiring Independent Contractors in comparison to employees. The final decision is always based on the purpose of the hire and the organizations long-term goals. Contractors can save from having to employ staff during slower periods.

Contractors can alleviate workload from regular staff who may not be able to handle the increased demands above their own day to day responsibilities.
