By adopting best practices from previous organisations our contractors will integrate into your business effortlessly allowing you to deliver projects faster.
SPECIALIST
EXPERTISE

As Harnham cover the entire data and AI landscape whilst operating in market verticals our contractors are experts in their field and with little or no training will be able to plug holes across your organisation from a single analyst to entire project teams.


FREELANCE
FLEXIBILITY
Short term contracts offer an important option to businesses needing a flexible workforce. Harnham often work with companies to support seasonal spikes and product launches providing a fast turnaround of contractors.
We have also seen a shift towards ‘try before you buy’ where contractors begin on short term contracts and build up to full time positions.
SMALL BUDGETS
BIG RESULTS
It is a myth that contracting is an expensive hiring solution. In fact it is often the most cost effective. During the recruitment process there are no upfront fees to Harnham and once hired, benefits such as health insurance, retirement contributions, holiday pay, legal risks and training do not need to be considered.
Contractors often have their own equipment and can work from home so the cost of setting up a member of staff in an office space can be avoided too.

Our recruiters operate in specific disciplines and have a wealth of technical knowledge so you will never waste time educating a recruiter who is unfamiliar with a market Deep networks and our global talent pools allow Harnham’s recruiters to access exclusive contract talent that can often start within 24 hours.
Harnham will always provide a fair market rate as opposed to inflated consulting firm fees You will have a dedicated account manager who will take the time to understand your company’s culture and intricacies of the job role to ensure all contractors thrive in your business from day one.
