Demand for skilled tech contractors is near an all-time high, with more businesses realizing the value of the IT contingent workforce.

As companies continue to see the importance of a motivated contingent workforce, I believe we will see an increase in businesses working to better engage contractors and make them truly feel like they are part of the company. Upskilling opportunities and inclusion in team building events are small things that can make a big impact with contract workers – especially if they’re being paid competitively.
Vice President
Even with layoffs and companies downsizing, enterprise companies are still growing; work and projects need to be completed, and IT leaders are leaning into contracting as a solution. In 2023, we will continue to see an increase of contract workers being trusted to complete vital work inside major companies in the US and Canada."
