Technology continues to evolve at an exponential pace. Whether it’s artificial intelligence, cloud computing, or virtual networking, the advancements in technological applications are astounding.
Yet the fact remains that technology is only as good as the people using it.
This means that IT staffing is often a bottleneck for organizations that are trying to innovate and evolve by leveraging new technologies to solve workplace challenges. In fact, the difficulties organizations face in hiring full-time IT staff has become a business challenge of its own.
To overcome IT staffing challenges, consider partnering with a services provider that can supply your organization with short-term, contracted IT professionals.
CBTS helps address the talent gap challenge by providing skilled temporary workers during periods of peak activity.
Short-term contract workers can assist a business moving through a digital transformation, or help a business adapt when the pace of change makes hiring and training a full-time staff person not feasible.
Using contracted IT professionals eliminates an employer’s responsibility for payroll, benefits, and other costly aspects of full-time or even part-time employment.
Hiring part-time contract IT workers also provides a targeted, scalable approach to workforce management. A contract worker’s skills remain at the cutting edge of IT advancements without the need for the employer to pay the cost of continuing education. Likewise, the use of contracted IT professionals allows a business to constantly adjust the workloads to optimally support the business’ needs.
Managing short-term contracted IT workers brings its own set of challenges.
Businesses that work with short-term contracted IT professionals need to match the right people to the right job, integrate contractual workers into a workforce that includes full-time and part-time employees, and conduct background checks, security clearance checks, and resource assignments.

By working with an experienced IT service provider, the enterprise can bring in workers who are fully trained in a wide range of disciplines.
Working with a third party can also alleviate stress on human resource departments by eliminating the need for tasks such as timesheet management, expense reporting, and scheduling.
Third-party IT providers also train the staff they provide, which means contract workers will have cutting edge training and expertise in high-tech environments. Third party staffing providers have a wealth of resources at their disposal to meet any IT need, including outside consultants, support from professional organizations, and technology vendor expertise.
Working with a third-party IT staffing provider turns your workforce into the agile, team-oriented organization that is necessary to compete in today’s environment. The organization will be able to match tasks with appropriate skill sets, especially when those tasks require specialized expertise in cutting-edge technologies.
