The global employment market is becoming more and more flexible every day. The percentage of people employed on a
temporary or contract basis has been increasing steadily throughout the world. Many companies are now down-sizing their permanent staffing levels to a core of vital employees, and then utilizing contract or
temporary labour to provide additional manpower in times of peak need or for particular key skill needs on a short term basis.
This can be done on an individual basis or by outsourcing of complete activities or manpower needs of a project.
