Finding staff in a hot job market can be tricky for employers. A recent article on one sizzling job market suggests that small companies are hardest hit by labour shortages. That’s because smaller companies often face uncertainties that make it hard to commit to hiring a full-time employee. A good way for these companies to compete is by hiring an independent consultant or contract worker.
