10 Contract Staffing Tips You Should Know Right Now In comparison to in-house recruiting teams, staffing agencies have a lot of administrative load. They not only organise contract papers, emails, and phone conversations with job seekers, but they also coordinate this workflow with their clients. Streamlining contract operations isn't simply a productivity necessity when you realise that bad contract management procedures cost organisations good revenue each year. But how can you spend less time filling positions and more time completing contracts? These are 10 contract staffing tips you should know right now to help you perform effectively and efficiently: 1. Delegate work: Some tasks are simple to delegate since they have a uniform framework and are less risky financially. Delegating them is a win-win situation. It relieves strain on reduced the work of operations departments while also providing professional development opportunities for your branch managers. 2. Negotiate with the assistance of a legal person: Whenever the discussion is between two attorneys, clients are typically more receptive to modifications. When attorneys work together, they usually strive to be fair to one another and avoid taking positions that they wouldn't take if they were on the other side of the transaction. 3. Prioritise: Finding a starting point is tough when every deal is considered critical. Prioritize contracts based on their financial worth and the likelihood of their being completed. Examine your contracts in an order from the immediate deadline ones to the long term ones. 4. Proper documentation: Ascertain that all departments — legal, sales, HR, accounting, and other are aware of what is required to onboard a customer. Everything from installing a new background check to maintaining fixed markups to verifying references falls under this category. Getting front-end buy-in ensures a seamless process after a placement is established. 5. Track contract data: Contract information, such as provisions relating to subcontracting, Force Majeure, publicity, and so on, can help you better evaluate the risk in your contract portfolio and identify new business growth possibilities. 6. Performance report: Keep track of your contracts, including how many placements and the revenues they generate. Then go back to how the contract priority order was ranked by the branch manager. This reporting ensures that your branch managers are correctly evaluating their opportunities and prioritising them in a consistent manner, allowing your legal department to make the most use of their resources. 7. Make sure you can tie all placements to a signed agreement at the end of each month. After all, your contracts regulate your client interactions, and your client isn't legally required to pay you when placements are made unless you have a written contract. 8. Audit: Determine whether your client agreements have audit clauses, and ensure that any placements for those contracts are audited regularly. 9. Credit check: Make sure to do a business credit check before any placement to assess your client's payment history and how it may impact your contractual responsibilities. The outcomes will aid you in deciding whether to work on a contract basis or permanent basis and other relevant details.
