Contract Staffing
Skilled workers for defined terms.
Contract staffing gives you access to experienced workers for a fixed duration — without the overhead of a permanent hire. Ideal for projects, coverage roles, and specialist engagements with a clear start and end.
Contract staffing sits between temporary and permanent — workers are placed for a defined term, often with specific skills or experience required. Stersbury handles sourcing and screening; the contract terms are clear from the start.
When contract staffing fits.
Defined-duration projects
You need skilled workers for a project with a clear timeline — not an open-ended commitment.
Specialist coverage
A specialist role needs to be filled for a fixed period — maternity leave, extended absence, or a transition.
Skill gaps on a timeline
You need a specific skill set for a defined period while you build internal capacity or complete a transition.
Budget-controlled engagements
Contract terms give you cost predictability for workforce planning within a defined budget period.
How contract staffing works.
Define the engagement
We work with you to define the role, required skills, duration, and terms before we source a single candidate.
Source and screen
We identify candidates with the right skills and experience for your specific contract — not generic availability.
Place and coordinate
We handle placement logistics and ensure the worker understands the contract terms and your expectations.
Support through the term
We stay engaged through the contract duration — available if issues arise and ready to plan for what comes next.
