Bringing in contract professionals isn't just about filling short-term gaps—it's about ensuring businesses remain agile, competitive, and equipped with the right talent at the right time. And it's not just businesses that benefit—many professionals actively choose contract work for the flexibility, exposure, and higher earning potential it offers.
The world of recruitment has changed significantly in the last decade. With the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and ATS, hiring teams can now process thousands of applications more efficiently than ever. While AI has helped speed up the longlisting process and reduce time-to-hire, it has also introduced new challenges for candidates. One of the biggest pitfalls? Overly designed resumes that AI struggles to read.
