An IT consulting firm runs into a dilemma where a customer is asking for assistance that requires a specific technical skill that is unique to that project or environment. Unfortunately, this calls for expertise not currently found among the firm’s bench of full-time consultants, and there’s little chance there will be a need for this particular skill set once the customer’s project is complete.

Rather than turning down their customer’s request or hiring someone for the position with no clear future once the project is done, the consulting firm reaches out to us to provide them a contract employee with the exact skill set required to satisfy their customer.
