    A contingent workforce is a labour pool comprising highly skilled and compensated contractors. Contingent workers are not on the company payroll but provide services to an organisation, in the form of consultants, temps and advisers. Such workers are more used in project-based work.

    It is crucial for companies to understand what skills they need and when. At times, certain projects require a specific skill set to work with a client. In such situations, there is a demand for independent workers or contractors. This helps companies to put together a workforce on a ‘need basis’.
