## what is flexible staffing?

Flexible staffing is a strategy by which companies employ contingent workers. HR teams and others use a contingent workforce to meet evolving business and operational challenges, and as an alternative to hiring permanent employees. Contingent workers are not on a company’s payroll—they are contractors, independent freelancers, gig workers, and agency-provided workers. Companies use flexible staffing for a variety of reasons, such as:

“There is only one boss. The customer―and he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.”
