What types of employers use contractors?

In today’s fast-paced global market, most companies needing skilled technical professionals can benefit from contract services. Typically, these are companies requiring experienced personnel to supplement their work force on short notice either at peak times or for special expertise. Additionally, many employers now view contract-to-direct as a means to hire long-term employees. Over the past few months we have had engineering contract jobs in such fields as aerospace, A&E, electronics, medical device design and manufacturing, power, and optics, to name just a few.
