Built around the hiring need
Match the talent to the assignment.
Contract staffing gives organizations access to specialized professionals for defined projects, temporary requirements, interim support, implementations and changing workforce needs.
Valley Search Group helps identify and engage professionals based on the assignment, required experience, expected duration, location, work arrangement and business objective. The search begins with a clear understanding of the work to be done.
When it makes sense
Additional capacity, when the work requires it.
The assignment’s responsibilities, duration, schedule and work arrangement help determine whether contract staffing is an appropriate approach.
- The work is temporary, interim or project-based.
- Specialized skills are needed for a defined period.
- A system implementation or business initiative is underway.
- Workload has increased or an employee is temporarily unavailable.
- A permanent headcount decision has not yet been made.
- Expansion creates a need for additional workforce capacity.

Areas of expertise
Specialized across business functions.
The position, required experience and engagement model determine the candidate market.
What information is needed for a contract search?
Share the required skills, responsibilities, expected duration, location, work arrangement, schedule, rate expectations and preferred start date. This helps define the assignment and relevant candidate market.
Can contract professionals work remotely?
A remote or hybrid arrangement may be considered when the work, supervision requirements and engagement structure support it. Those expectations should be defined before sourcing begins.
What assignment lengths are supported?
Expected duration is considered with the assignment, required experience and candidate availability. The term and any extension arrangements are established directly for the engagement.
Can a contract professional become a permanent employee?
Permanent employment may be discussed where appropriate, subject to the interests of both parties and the applicable engagement and conversion terms. Conversion is not guaranteed.
How are engagement structure and rates established?
The working arrangement, rates, responsibilities and required documents are discussed directly and defined for the assignment before work begins.
