5 Benefits of Hiring a Temp Developer in IT

Hiring an expert with the right skills can simplify any complex project, especially in information technology, even if it’s short-term. Contractors are flexible, competent, and unbiased resources who provide support when and where your team needs it most. The contractor you hire becomes a well-versed extension of your organization.

 

Why hire a temporary developer?

 

1. Short-Term Project

Working with a developer on a short-term basis can be handy, whether you require a quick placement during peaks of activity throughout the year or when you have a single project needing support. 

 

2. Development

Depending on your needs, you could hire a developer specializing in websites, mobile apps, coding, or managing your system’s software.

 

3. Niche Skills

Various developers within IT have hard and soft skills that mesh well with any team and technical need. To name a few:

 

• Database and coding languages like SQL, JavaScript, and Python
• Mathematical and problem-solving skills
• Leadership qualities like communication, organization, and attention to detail

 

4. Alleviate Burden

When hiring a developer as a consultant, you reduce the costs of onboarding and training. At EDI Staffing, we handle the onboarding and the payroll by hiring a contractor versus a direct hire. Alleviating this burden from your organization reduces risk and saves you time. 

 

5. Quick Fix

If you have a critical software issue, temp developers are a quick fix. They optimize your systems, detect errors, and make recommendations, preventing future technical problems. Working with a staffing agency streamlines solutions and prevents you from going through an entire onboarding process for a full-time hire.

 

If you lack the resources to hire a full-time professional but still require assistance from an expert to help with your IT systems, considering a short-term developer is a good idea. The beauty of temp-to-hire is similar to try-before-you-buy. At the end of the project, you can decide if contract-to-hire is an option.
