Seeking Out Contracts as an Independent Consultant
Steps are as follows:
o Hone an excellent contractor vetting process. No matter how good the contractor looks
on paper, you will need to keep your eyes out for certain flaws.
o Develop A List of Contractors and your business clients
o Look out for serial job leavers/hoppers. Despite the fact that the candidate may possess
great experience and excellent interviewing skills, look for regular job hopping. Try to
find gaps in employment, valid reasons and any employment history that they are not
listing on their resume.
o Always look out for location and salary problems. No matter how good a candidate
seems, a job with a big commute or in another city is unlikely to work out well. Listen
thoroughly when you ask a candidate where they are looking to work and the salary
range they will accept. It is very hard to place a candidate when these elements are not
met.
o Find out all the reasons a contractor left previous jobs. Try to encourage them to be
honest about any bad blood or failures in their past. You should know if your contractor
fails to work well with team members, or if it was simply a bad fit.
o Keep an eye out for a good fit with company culture. Ask your candidates about their
interests, hobbies, family and favorite sports. While keeping the conversation
professional, you should be able to analyze how well they will work with a company's
team.
o Learn to produce exceptional job descriptions.
