Contracting has been a well established feature of the employment industry for more than 30 years, long before buzzwords like 'outsourcing' and 'downsizing' entered the corporate vocabulary.
In simple terms, contracting means that instead of having a position in an organisation, the contractor is engaged to work on a certain project, usually for a specified period. When the project is completed, the contract lapses or is renegotiated.
