A contingent workforce is the people who work for an organisation without being its permanent employees. It includes contractors, freelancers, consultants, temporary staff and workers supplied by agencies or service providers.
IT staffing is the practice of sourcing and placing technology professionals with a company on a contract, contract-to-hire or permanent basis. A staffing partner finds and screens candidates, and often employs contractors, while the client directs their work.
An independent contractor is a self-employed person or business that provides services to a client under a commercial contract, not as an employee. They control how the work is done and handle their own tax and insurance.
Vendor management is selecting, contracting, monitoring and reviewing outside suppliers so they deliver what was agreed at acceptable cost and risk. For technology buyers it spans staffing providers, development partners, and cloud and software vendors.
