Contract Staffing
Contract resourcing suits work with a defined shape: a migration, an upgrade, a delivery push, cover for a vacancy. It goes wrong when the supplier treats placement as the end of their involvement.
We stay engaged for the duration — check-ins with both sides, early warning when something is not working, and a replacement process that does not start from scratch.
Platforms we typically deliver this on
Scope of the service
AI and data roles
Engineers, architects, analysts and MLOps specialists on contract.
ERP and enterprise applications
PeopleSoft, Oracle and enterprise application consultants, functional and technical.
Software engineering
Full-stack, backend, frontend and mobile developers across major stacks.
Infrastructure and cloud
Cloud engineers, DevOps specialists, database administrators and security practitioners.
Project and delivery
Project managers, business analysts, scrum masters and change specialists.
Compliance and payroll
Contracts, worker classification, insurance and payroll handled to Canadian and US requirements.
Where this is used
Representative engagements, described at the level our clients permit. Sector and shape are accurate; identifying detail is withheld.
Supplying against a standing agreement
The client procures through established supply agreements with defined rate structures. We supply against those categories with compliant documentation.
Outcome — Roles filled inside existing procurement rather than through new competitions.
Peak-period ERP capacity
Registration and year-end need capacity the institution cannot justify all year. We supply the same consultants each cycle where possible.
Outcome — Familiar consultants returning each peak instead of new people learning it again.
Cover for parental leave
A specialist role needed twelve-month cover. We placed a consultant with overlap at both ends of the leave for handover.
Outcome — Continuity maintained across the leave in both directions.
Before you get in touch
What are typical contract lengths?
Three to twelve months most often, with extensions common. We also handle shorter specialist assignments.
Who employs the contractor?
Depending on the arrangement, Workiy employs them or engages them through their own corporation. Either way we handle contracts, compliance and payroll.
What if a placement is not working?
Raise it early. We have a replacement process and would rather fix it in week two than have it endured for six months.
