Frequently asked questions

What is Contractor Management?

Modern businesses need the ability to scale up or down with expert or specialist skills. Contractors offer on-demand support without the inflexibility of full-time contracts. However, mismanaging contract workers can put workers at risk and expose the organization to compliance, commercial and legal risk. If you don’t have the right system in place you might start missing deadlines and budgets could get out of hand. Worse, KYC documents might not be stored securely and client data could be lost or compromised. The right contractor management solution mitigates these risks and reduces unnecessary admin and stress.

Why is contractor management important?

Effective contractor management is crucial for organizations working with external talent, as it ensures consistent quality, project alignment, and timely delivery. By managing contractors well, companies can leverage specialized skills without the risks associated with unstructured or unregulated workflows. It also supports a scalable, flexible workforce aligned with company goals.

How do I onboard a new contractor?

To onboard a new contractor, use TalentDesk to create a customized workflow that captures all onboarding information and legal documents right from the start. Simplify the process with automated compliance, contract management, and easy access documents. Build a searchable talent directory for ongoing project needs, making hiring seamless and efficient.

What should be included in a contractor agreement?

A contractor agreement for freelancers or independent professionals should include the project scope, deliverables, timelines, payment terms, data protection requirements, and compliance with company standards. Clear agreements prevent misunderstandings and set clear expectations for quality, deadlines, and ownership of work. This documentation also safeguards both parties if issues arise.

How does TalentDesk make contractor compliance easier?

TalentDesk removes the headache of contractor compliance by handling classification, verification, and engagement of freelancers through our comprehensive platform. Our optional Agent of Record (AOR) service acts as a compliance shield to protect your business. We can also help with managing admin like AML and KYC checks and tax filings. With features like e-signing and bulk document uploads, TalentDesk lets you scale your freelancer team with ease and confidence.

What should I do if a contractor violates policy?

If a contractor fails to meet agreed-upon standards or violates policy, it’s important to address the issue promptly with clear feedback, documented actions, and possible re-negotiations. Platforms like TalentDesk make it easy to track interactions, manage documentation, and enforce policies. Taking action on violations maintains a standard of accountability and protects project integrity.
