We’ve been writing a lot lately about how Procurement professionals can make more money in contract positions, and enjoy a lot of lifestyle advantages. The pay is higher than permanent roles, allowing a better work/life balance. Self-incorporation can let you save for retirement and enjoy tons of tax advantages. The possibilities are endless from both a lifestyle and financial perspective. And it’s estimated that by 2030, 50% of the workforce will be contractors.

So while permanent search will always be an integral part of our business, we’re getting into the Procurement contract game big time. It’s one of the most exciting and growing spaces in the field of Supply Chain Management and the jobs are rolling in every day. Here are our freshest Procurement contract opportunities:
