You have an upcoming, one-off project that requires a skill set you don’t possess internally.
You can’t see the wood for the trees and need someone with a fresh, impartial perspective.
You’ve tried to seek a permanent member of staff, but haven’t found the right person or want to be certain of the skills and experience you need first.
You’re looking to trial a new product, service or role, but the market is uncertain or you’re not yet ready to fully commit.
You need to cover a long-term absence or unexpected resignation, and fast.
Consultants vs contract managers: which should you choose?
Consultants will provide you with:
- The latest thinking
- Short-term access to top management talent
- Strategic capability
- An independent and impartial eye
- The option to fast-track a critical project
Management contractors will do all that and more:
- The ability to implement as well as strategise
- Loyalty to your business goals – not their consultancy’s goals
- A flexible approach to meet your organisation’s objectives
- A focus on your profitability – not their consultancy’s profitability
- Increased cost-effectiveness
It’s really not a case of whether you can afford a contract manager, but whether you can risk not hiring one...
Talk to our expertsWhat is contract recruitment?
Contract recruitment refers to the process of a company hiring professionals on a short-term basis. Contract, or inrterim recruitment is the perfect solution when a company is facing a skills gap requiring contractor expertise and specialised skills either due to restructuring, unexpected departures, or, to implement new projects requiring specialist skill sets, for example opening a new site or implementing specialist software and operations.
Hiring contract professionals allows companies to fill talent gaps efficiently, ensuring your business can achieve strategic goals or to continue operations as usual with minimal disruption. Contract consultants are highly experienced and skilled professionals who can hit the ground running and deliver results within a short period of time.
Management contractors bring in fresh ideas, a wealth of experience, and independent and unbiased opinions that gives them the ability to drive growth and implement new strategies. The main benefit of contract recruitment solutions is to bring in the expertise to allow your organisation to achieve strategic goals or continue operations efficiently with minimum disruption to your existing team.
Our CASTContract recruitment solution is an agile response wherever you are in an ever-changing global landscape.

They fulfilled all of the project’s requirements within a very tight timescale to a very high standard.

Cast UK spent considerable time making sure they understood our business and the role thoroughly, touring our warehouse and investigating exactly what was required. They worked in partnership with us to ensure that our business and culture were matched incredibly well with the best candidates, we were very impressed.
Cast UK’s depth of knowledge regarding our sector and the role’s requirements were second to none.
Chris Illingworth
Finance & Operations Director at Widdop, Bingham & Co ltd.
We have been working with Cast UK for 6 months, using Cast Talent. I have been telling everyone I meet/work with how pleased we are with the services that Cast UK provide. I would like to compliment Cast UK on both the service packages on offer and specifically the on the quality of the team they employ.
I am one very satisfied customer.
Fiona Strong
Managing Director
I was initially skeptical about Cast UK's video interviewing service, but since using it I absolutely love it. We were able to learn so much more about a candidate through video interviewing than we would by just looking at their CV.
Cast UK took care of all first-stage interviews, meaning we didn't have to take hours out of our working day. This meant the whole process was significantly faster, Cast managed to turn the job around and hire someone much quicker than we thought possible.
I would definitely go to Cast UK as a recruitment partner for any future requirements we have.
