How Contra supports your portfolio
Contra is designed to help businesses, including those within your portfolio, effectively manage and scale their flexible workforce.
Regardless of the size or sector of the business, Contra can provide assistance in discovering and hiring skills-based talent, providing a simplified process that enhances productivity and removes the common hurdles associated with traditional hiring practices.
Contra is the perfect solution for companies in your portfolio looking to benefit from hiring flexible talent. Typically, businesses utilizing a flexible workforce can save between 30-60 percent compared to equivalent full-time hires. This is primarily due to higher utilization rates and significant reductions in real estate costs, with flexible workers often operating remotely. Moreover, the quality of talent is exceptional. The flexible workforce provides access to a unique and global pool of professionals, broadening the scope for sourcing the best fit for specific projects. The agility that comes with hiring flexible talent also enables companies to swiftly adapt to changing needs and trends, ensuring competitiveness and innovation.
By enabling companies to hire contractors on a project or contract basis, Contra not only helps manage expenditures effectively but also allows businesses to maintain a lean, high-performing team. Our innovative approach to work allows companies to adapt to the dynamically changing work landscape with ease, confidence, and a strategic advantage.
Sharing your network
Networking and communication are key. At Contra, we understand the importance of these factors and provide a platform that encourages and facilitates sharing and communication within your professional network.
We have tailored our services to prioritize these critical elements, providing a platform that not only encourages the sharing of ideas and experiences but actively facilitates it. Our platform is a hub where professionals can gather, exchange ideas, and grow together.
One of our standout features is the Flexible Talent Network, a tool that allows you to fully tap into the potential of your professional network. It's not just about maintaining connections; it's about leveraging those connections to open new doors and embark on new collaborations.
With the Flexible Talent Network, you can transform your network from a static list of contacts into a dynamic community of professionals, each bringing their unique skills and perspectives to the table. This feature redefines what it means to network, offering you the opportunity to expand in ways you never thought possible.
Building Your Flexible Talent Network: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Add existing contractors to your network: Navigate to the Network tab and select “create.” Here, you can create a contractor record for those already in your network.
- Create a contractor record: You'll need to input the contractor's name and email. You'll also have the option to add internal information visible only to your team, such as tags, rates, location, links, and internal notes. If the contractor you invite already has a Contra account associated with their email address, their profile information will be automatically imported into your network.
- Invite contractors to join Contra: When you create this record, you have the option to invite the contractor to join Contra, preparing them for potential future projects.
- Add a contractor not yet on Contra: You can create records for contractors not yet on Contra. They won't receive an email until you choose to invite them for an upcoming project by having them onboard in advance. If you're adding more than 10 contractors, let us know and we can assist you.
- Create an invite link: When creating an invite link, you can share this link through emails, embed it in websites, and use various other message types to invite a single contractor or a group to join your network.
This step-by-step guide ensures you can build and grow your Flexible Talent Network with ease, enhancing your potential for collaboration and project-based work.
