It is possible to find both contractors and permanent employees within infrastructure. The professional you hire is of course dependent on the type of job they need to do – some digital transformation initiatives, such as the rapid rollout of remote working systems and equipment, may be better suited to contractors.
Roles that require a more constant maintenance of services, however, are probably best filled by permanent employees. Most of all, you need to be really clear on one thing: all these professionals are in demand and competition is high, so you must act fast – plan your talent pipeline in advance, and don’t leave it too late to secure the right person.
