For Companies Looking to Hire
For Working Professionals
NPR is running a piece today, talking about how in the first wave of layoffs companies hired contractors to replace people they needed. Then they realize they could do that on a widespread basis in the company, so some have laid of most of their workforce and replaced them with contractors. The dilemma for the contractor (and for the company in terms of commitment and productivity) is that the contractors have no benefits. So they're constantly scouting for traditional employment elsewhere, and not really invested in the company.
So let's say I'm a current or former employee (or perhaps current or former contractor) about ready to pull the trigger on becoming a Free Agent...
Someone asked in a recent [webinar] how one can promote one's talents and availability as a free agent. First, of course, there's no substitute at all for the direct route: you're hitting the virtual pavement to schedule interviews just like ordinary employment seekers.

The California jobless rate rose to 12.3% last month from 11.9% in May, said the CEDD. Government workers hit the unemployment lines in droves, due to lay offs - that's a lot of it. The question is, are those jobs really ever going to come back for those same people? Frankly, it seems like becoming a Free Agent (a contract employee with full, transferrable benefits) would be the way to go for a lot of them.
Not that it's likely to be common, but how does FAS deal with conflicts between free agents and the client? With traditional staffing agencies, the client complains, and they pull you and give the client someone else. Is it much different at FAS?
