A labour shortage is a labour shortage. Most of our employers are looking for full-time, long-term employees to come and fill those labour gaps. In our experience, contractual or part-time work really is only starting to make headway, if you will, in areas like IT and consulting, where it's still prevalent. But by hiring two part-time workers to avoid having to pay benefits instead of hiring one full-time worker, they're doubling their training costs and ultimately doubling their payroll and red tape. Many of our business owners are happy to get one solid employee, to keep them, to train them and to do what they can to tenure them into their organization.
