Our Employed Consultants provide access to an alternative talent pool and specialist capabilities without the burden of increasing your permanent headcount and support function requirements.
People and businesses want new ways to get work done. Not everyone wants to work as a full-time, permanent employee - and organisations don't always want that either. Both employees and employers want choice, flexibility and alternative ways of working that build resilience for less predictable futures. Organisations that want to attract and retain in-demand workers must consider alternative workforce models, in order to secure the best.
Employed Consultants (ECs) are one way of accessing an alternative talent pool - bridging the gap between permanent and contract labour. An EC is a highly skilled specialist who is permanently employed by Jefferson Wells, and then supplied on an interim or project basis into our clients' organisations. By working in this way, the worker enjoys the benefits of permanent employment, alongside the flexibility of being able to develop their skills across a variety of assignments with blue chip enterprise companies. For the employer, you'll benefit from a flexible, permanent workforce that can grow with your organisation, without adding to your permanent headcount and support function requirements.
Our ECs cover over 100 skill sets and can be deployed individually or as part of a team. This model offers a stability of service and knowledge, thanks to the dedicated operational support team who work across recruitment, HR and utilisation.
We can help you achieve your business goals.
