WHY MARKETING CONTRACTORS ARE GOOD FOR BUSINESS

In this unprecedented candidate-short market, finding the right talent can be
difficult, despite the need for marketing expertise continuing to rise. How can
companies supply this demand, with so few qualified candidates available?

One tried-and-tested strategy that we suggest to our clients is to utilise
marketing contractors or temps into your team as a stop gap. Here, we’ll be
explaining why this approach works, and how Michael Page Marketing & Digital can
help you find the interim talent your business needs to succeed.


TOP REASONS FOR HIRING A MARKETING TEMP


1. GAIN QUICK ACCESS TO SHORT-TERM SPECIALISTS.

When you hire an interim marketing expert, you get access to their expertise,
skills, and experience. By taking advantage of their knowledge in the
short-term, you can learn more about your business in the long-term. They know
what questions to ask and how to find the answers. Below are the average time to
hire stats when looking at marketing hires across both temp and perm roles:



When comparing our data, it’s clear that temp candidates can be sourced and
placed in a matter of days meaning a quick solution to your pressing skills gap.


2. ALLOW YOURSELF MORE TIME TO MAKE THE RIGHT HIRING DECISION.

Here at Michael Page Marketing & Digital, we provide an interim solution for all
organisations whilst they conduct searches and processes for a permanent hire
they might be trying to source. Will Pendlington, Managing Consultant for
Michael Page Marketing, commented:

> When working with clients on contracting roles, the real benefit is that it
> helps them buy time when trying to find the perfect permanent candidate. The
> interim will plug the gaps in the meantime and decisions need not be rushed.
> Similarly, if the incumbent is leaving before the new hires notice period runs
> out, it allows for a more seamless handover to happen so vital information
> isn't lost.


3. BRING IN FRESH AND DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES.

Hiring marketing contractors who offer both marketing strategies and advice will
greatly benefit your company and ensure success in the future. There are many
marketing experts out there from underrepresented groups who employers may be
missing. It’s this diverse talent pool that could be the fresh perspective your
marketing team needs to get an upcoming project off the ground.


HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT INTERIM MARKETER

Finding the right marketing contractor or temp can be daunting. You want to make
sure the person you bring in has the right skillset and expertise to come in and
hit the ground running. That’s where Michael Page Marketing & Digital come in.

Lauren Messias, Business Manager at Michael Page Marketing, commented:

> We work with a variety of seasoned interim marketers who are well versed at
> coming in, sorting out an issue, or improving something and then heading off
> to do their next project. For every sector we cover here at Michael Page, we
> have a pool of interim candidates who can get started within a matter of days.

With a team of expert recruiters on hand to source and place the best marketing
talent into your business, Michael Page can help you find the exact skillset you
need and at pace. Lauren added:

> We keep our contracting and immediately available candidates pools full
> continuously and are constantly registering new candidates that are ready to
> go. Our team not only help you find the right fit, but also take care of all
> the admin and compliance that comes with temporary recruitment. For example,
> the updates to the IR35 legislation in April of 2021 transferred
> responsibility for the tax and national insurance contributions of contract
> workers to large and medium enterprises. At Michael Page Marketing & Digital,
> we provide clients with access to a third-party IR35 specialist, thereby
> helping them to understand and mitigate IR35-related risk.


WHAT’S NEXT?

Michael Page Marketing and Digital has developed a global database of expert
contractors, enabling us to fill roles within days. Our partners include leading
SMEs, corporates, and specialist consultancies, and we source talent across a
range of different verticals and sectors.
