Common engagement terms

Permanent recruitment refers to a search for a direct, ongoing employee. Contract staffing usually describes a time-bound engagement. Resource augmentation adds capability to an existing team, while project staffing plans roles around a delivery scope or milestone.

Agree on definitions in writing

Terms can be used differently across organizations and contracts. Confirm who employs or engages the professional, who directs the work, how long the arrangement lasts and which commercial terms apply. The written agreement between the parties governs the engagement.
