In today’s work environment, regardless of the industry, staying competitive in this volatile market is paramount to success. Many firms have started to look toward how they build their workforce to find that competitive advantage. As companies try to achieve maximum efficiency while remaining ambitious, they typically look at what obligation is the most costly investment. Generally, personnel is at the top of that list. With challenges arising, like skill shortages and unplanned attrition, many organizations are left with project delays and budget overruns, which are cumbersome and costly. Contingent workers, also known as subcontractors, can be a saving grace for businesses looking to overcome these challenges.

Benefits of a contingent workforce
A contingent workforce is a pool of workers that an organization hires temporarily or on an on-demand basis. Many companies utilize a blend of contingent workers and permanent resources for their projects. Subcontracting can be beneficial to organizations that need to scale their workforce to meet demand or hire individuals who possess a unique skill set to accomplish a technologically advanced project.

Much more cost-effective for business owners than a direct hire or permanent employee.
If your organization is looking for a highly skilled individual to work on a short-term project, a subcontractor can fit this role wonderfully while also helping you reduce expenses. Unlike permanent employees, a contingent workforce doesn’t bear overhead. Additionally, they don’t require benefits like health insurance or paid time off. When you utilize the Co-Innovation model, you partner with dedicated ServiceNow-certified experts like System Administrators and Technical Architects to help you tackle daily operations while reducing expenses.
A contingent workforce increases flexibility.
Having business agility helps you respond better to changing circumstances. The temporary, highly specialized, short-term nature of a contingent workforce fits ideally with this model. A company utilizes external workers only when needed, allowing them to eliminate long-term, costly, and inflexible agreements. Your business can enjoy more flexibility when you employ the Co-Innovation model that offers a pool of able and accomplished individuals for collaboration.
Brings a new perspective to the table.
Sometimes, you need a fresh pair of eyes on a project to identify problem areas and offer intelligent solutions. Enjoy a specialized skill set and niche expertise with a contingent workforce. As a result, you and your team can appreciate a diverse and unbiased viewpoint that benefits your organization. With Co-Innovation, we only offer high-level staffing. We believe it’s not just about the individual that sits across from you—it’s about the entire team behind them. And you only get that level of support with an initiative like Co-Innovation.
