Leveraging Contractors for Success

In this video, our CEO Andrew Lynch discusses a significant shift in how people approach work, with a growing interest in project-related tasks rather than permanent employment. He highlights the rise of freelancers in the workplace and shares that Mason Alexander has also recently started hiring contractors for the first time. Andrew emphasises the value added by experienced professionals with domain knowledge who can come in for specific purposes and then move on to the next project. He believes that companies without freelancers as part of their talent strategy will miss out on hiring the right people when needed.

Key Takeaways:

 

1. Shift towards project-related work

There is a notable trend where more individuals are preferring project-based tasks over traditional permanent employment.

 

2. Rise of freelancers

The workplace has seen a significant increase in the number of freelancers, indicating a growing interest in temporary contract roles.

 

3. Hiring contractors

At Mason Alexander, we have embraced this shift and hired contractors over the past year, as we recognise the value of experienced professionals who can contribute their domain knowledge for specific purposes and projects.

 

4. Adding value through contractors

Andrew highlights that companies have witnessed substantial value being added through the use of freelancers and contractors, allowing for specialised expertise on a project-by-project basis.
