Some contractors are just exploring - looking for a company they may be interested in settling into permanently. But all temporary employees are looking at environment - they don t want to be treated as outsiders but want to know that their contributions are recognized and valued, that they will be treated fairly, equitably and with respect. And they want to be provided with the tools needed to do their job well. Do your research and really check references. If possible, talk with prior clients and get their direct input so you can ensure you are getting what you re looking for.
Many contractors are identified through the network - a good track record speaks for itself.
