Temp and Contract Staffing Agency

Roles We Fill

How Screening Works for Contract Roles

Traditional contract staffing screens more lightly than permanent placement, on the logic that a contractor is easier to replace. That logic is wrong in professional work. A contract engineer who cannot deliver costs you the engagement, the ramp time, the project delay, and the replacement, and none of that is cheaper because the employment structure was temporary.

So contract candidates go through the same stack: the AI Coding Interviewer for technical roles, scenario-based video interviews for finance and operations, the English proficiency test where communication carries the work, and resume screening across the full applicant pool. You review recordings before anyone starts, which for a contract engagement is more evidence than most permanent hires get elsewhere.

What These Roles Pay

Traditional agencies bill a markup over the worker's pay rate, typically 40 to 60%, which is why the same contractor can cost very different amounts depending on the vendor structure. Full data across 93 roles sits in our free salary benchmarks, and job descriptions for over 900 roles in the JD library.

Fees Compared

Contract pricing is where staffing margins hide most effectively. A 50% markup on a contractor earning $150,000 means you pay $225,000 while the worker sees $150,000, and that spread continues every month the engagement runs, unlike a one-time placement fee.

How Hyring Delivers

In contract work, lighter screening is a false economy, because a failed engagement costs the ramp and the delay regardless of how temporary the employment structure was. Six things run behind every shortlist:

All of it lands in one portal: every candidate uploaded with recording and score attached, clear stages your whole team can see, and feedback captured on the profile rather than in a thread half the panel is missing from.

The Full Service Stack

Staff augmentation and employer of record carry the contract work; direct hire covers engagements that become permanent.

Contract, Staff Augmentation, or Employer of Record

Staff augmentation suits capacity needs: you direct the work, we employ the person, and pricing runs roughly 30% below big-firm quotes. For engineering capacity specifically, the India route places dedicated engineers at $45,000 to $65,000 a year fully loaded against $150,000 plus for a US contractor, on overlap hours, with Insight by Hyring keeping hours transparent to both sides. See staff augmentation and IT staff augmentation.

Employer of record suits situations where you have found the person and need them employed compliantly somewhere you have no entity. We handle payroll, tax, and benefits, you direct the work, priced per employee per month rather than as a markup. See employer of record.

Direct hire suits work that turns out to be permanent, which contract engagements frequently do. Our flat 14% applies, and unlike most agencies we do not charge a separate conversion fee on top for candidates we placed as contractors. See direct hire.

If none of those fit because the work is on-site, high-volume, and shift-based, a local temp agency with branch infrastructure is genuinely the better answer, and we would rather tell you that in the first five minutes than after a scoping call.
