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

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.
