Contractors

The freelance economy is here. How will you use it to your advantage?

The world of work is changing. As we emerge into a post-pandemic world, the need for flexibility and adaptability is more important than it has ever been before. Traditional ways of working are being challenged. Businesses are adjusting to markets which are increasingly demanding a digital presence. Professionals have experienced a taste of life outside the office, and are increasingly exploring ways to offer their services remotely. 

At Emergent, we recognised this shift early on. We realised how vital contracting would become in this changing market – and we are here to facilitate key connections and provide guidance to companies and contractors who may be new to this way of working. 

Emergent provides contracting services to our clients as a vital extension of their existing resources. A great contractor is an invaluable asset – they can be called up as and when they are needed, to handle talks that a company is restrained from doing themselves due to capacity or expertise. We are here to help our clients engage the expertise they need quickly, when it is needed, for as long as it is needed. 

We have extensive experience in helping our clients to navigate this space. You tell us what you need – and we will help you define the scope, content, expectations and estimated length of your assignment requirement. We know the right questions to ask to help you create the perfect brief to achieve your goal.

The contractors that we work with bring a wealth of expertise, a fresh outlook, and can offer specific skill-sets which are often particularly suited to project work. 

We can assist you with the staffing changes that all companies experience without the high cost and emotions associated with permanent recruitment.

We are dedicated to connecting you with exceptional, outcome-driven talent across a range of industries, including:

  • Digital Marketing
  • Entertainment
  • Financial Services
  • FMCG
  • Healthcare
  • Infrastructure
  • Manufacturing
  • Media
  • Not For Profit
  • Professional Services
  • Retail
  • Travel & Tourism
