Frequently Asked Questions.
What is contingent staffing?
Contingent staffing is a hiring model where organizations bring in non-permanent workers (contractors, temps, consultants) to meet defined business needs without adding permanent headcount. It’s commonly used to scale delivery quickly, cover skill gaps, and respond to time-sensitive programs, while keeping workforce plans flexible.
What’s the difference between contingent staffing, staff augmentation, and temporary staffing?
Contingent staffing is the umbrella term for non-permanent labor. Staff augmentation is a subset where contract talent is embedded into your team under your day-to-day direction. Temporary staffing often refers to shorter-term coverage roles and time-based assignments. Buyers usually choose augmentation when they need specialist capability and direct control.
How do procurement teams manage compliance and co-employment risk with contingent workforce staffing?
With contingent workforce staffing, procurement typically focuses on worker classification, onboarding controls, documentation, and clear ownership of policies to reduce compliance and co-employment exposure. Strong programs standardize processes across suppliers, define who is responsible for what, and ensure governance is consistent across regions, teams, and worker types.
How is contingent staffing priced (bill rate vs markup), and what should we expect?
Most contingent staffing is priced using a bill rate model, where the employer pays a set rate to the supplier for a role, often with “do not exceed” thresholds to control cost. Pricing commonly includes the worker’s pay plus a supplier markup to cover delivery and risk.
Do we need an MSP or VMS for contingent staffing solutions?
You may benefit from an MSP or VMS when contingent spend is spread across teams, suppliers, and locations, or when visibility and compliance are hard to manage. These programs typically help standardize onboarding, supplier management, and reporting, improving control over cost, risk, and process at scale.
