Contract recruitment is for candidates who work for a certain period. Organisations will employ these candidates when they require management change, company expansion and restructure, and if a project is failing. The contractors are paid at an hourly rate and are usually hired for weeks or months at a time.

Benefits of hourly rate:

Number of hours worked: an advantage to hourly wage rate is that the worker is paid for only the hours they work. For example, if the contractor only works for 3 hours a day, they will only be paid that amount.

Satisfied employees: an hourly wage will keep the employees satisfied, and there will be less labour turnover, employee grievances and disputes.

Build high morale: an attractive hourly salary will motivate employees, which will build high morale; thus, greater employee efficiency and productivity.
