In today's market, the benefits of hiring employees on a contract versus permanent basis are increasing. At blueStone, we see all sides of the issue and do our best to make our clients happy. We prefer contract employment, but also recognize that sometimes circumstances might dictate a permanent placement instead.

Why Contract?
    By choosing blueStone contract employees, our clients benefit by getting world-class resources to fill a short term immediate need within their organization.

Here's why:

• Reduces work for your Human Resources department (we pre-screen, hire, train, provide benefits, deliver paychecks, etc.)
  
  
• Reduces the costs of advertising for new employees, as well as the costs of recruiting, testing, screening, etc.
  
  
• Provides costs savings related to payroll processing and benefits administration.
  
  
• Provides you with access to over thousands of technical candidates.
  
  
• Provides you with employees for difficult-to-fill positions.
  
  
• Provides employees nationwide and internationally.
  
  
• Fulfills temporary labor spikes and satisfies project work.
  
  
• Allows you to test an employee's technical skills and team compatibility before hiring them permanently.
  
  
• 12-48 hour turnaround time for finding candidates.
  

Why Perm?
    We understand that in some circumstances, it is crucial to have a permanent employee right from the start, and we are willing to be flexible in those scenarios. Such scenarios would include:

• The position requires the employee to have access to highly critical information systems.
  
  
• The position requires the employee to have security rights or privileges
  
  
• The position requires the employee to be in a managerial role with authority to make decisions about a group or team
  
  

Contract-to-Hire

    blueStone's contract-to-hire option allows clients to hire our consultants. This unique benefit gives our clients and consultants the ability to "field test" each other before making a long-term employment decision.

    From a customer service point of view, blueStone's philosophy has always been to promote business by allowing a full-time hire if both parties are amenable. Over the years, both clients and consultants have appreciated blueStone's ability to be attentive to their individual needs and to be flexible in the employment process.
