Overview
About Contract Staffing
Contract staffing gives your team the skills it needs for exactly as long as it needs them. Desmata consultants join your project, work to your standards and report to your managers, while we handle payroll, compliance and administration.
We screen for the skills that matter on the job, plus communication, availability, rate expectations and work authorization. Our candidate-matching intelligence is proprietary, and a recruiter reviews every match personally.
Contract talent often fills the gap while a project runs. When a need grows, it can become a managed team, and when a contractor fits well, it can become a conversion to permanent.

Approach
How an engagement runs
Step 1: Define the need
We agree the skills, duration, location and work authorization requirements, and the start date you are working toward.
Step 2: Match
Candidate-matching intelligence surfaces likely fits, and a recruiter reviews each one and speaks with the candidate.
Step 3: Present
You get a short list with recruiter summaries and confirmed rate and availability.
Step 4: Onboard
We handle contract paperwork and coordinate the start with your team.
Step 5: Support the engagement
Your recruiter checks in with you and the consultant, and manages extensions or replacements.

Ways to work with us
W2 contract
The consultant is on Desmata's payroll and works onsite, hybrid or remote with your team.
Corp-to-corp
For consultants who operate through their own company, under agreed terms.
Extension or conversion
Extend a contract, or move to contract-to-hire or direct hire when you want to retain someone.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you offer W2 and corp-to-corp contracts?
Both are available, depending on the role and your policy. We confirm the arrangement and the candidate's work authorization before submission.
How quickly can you present candidates?
Speed depends on the skill, location, rate and work authorization requirements. At intake we give you a realistic read, and we say so if a profile is scarce.
What if a consultant is not working out?
Tell your recruiter early. We discuss the issue with both sides and, where needed, restart the search for a replacement.
Can a contractor become a permanent employee?
Yes. We can arrange conversion, and contract-to-hire is also available if you plan that path from the start. Conversion terms are agreed before work begins.
Need skills for a project?
Share the role, the duration and the stack. Your Desmata recruiter will confirm the profile and start sourcing.
