Make the assignment clear
Contract roles work best when the assignment has a defined purpose. Outline the expected deliverables, duration, work location, schedule, reporting line and equipment or access requirements. Also identify whether the work is an individual assignment or part of a wider delivery team.
Plan the engagement
Discuss the contract structure, start date and extension or completion process directly before work begins. Ensure the candidate understands the engagement terms and the client understands the responsibilities involved. Clear expectations at the start make day-to-day coordination easier for everyone.
