2024 State of Contracting Report

We recently shared our annual 2024 State of Contracting report. The report breaks down key insights from a survey of 500 contractors so if you're in a talent or recruiting role or if you manage contractors in your own team and want to know how to get the best out of them, download the full report.

Some key stats you'll find inside;

?? 89% of respondents rated the culture of a company as 'very important' versus 19% rating the brand name.' ?? No more relying on a big name to attract contractors.

??87% of respondents continue to seek some form of flexible work and will look elsewhere if not readily available.

?? 95% consider it important to do meaningful work in their role. It's not just a pay-check!

?? In our Gen Z cohort, we saw 50% split between male and female respondents! Are we seeing a generational shift in terms of equal gender participation?

? We'll be dropping new insights every fortnight and we aim to keep the content super interesting and useful as well as short and sharp - because we know you are busy people! ?
