Contracts from May 24^th  

Sometimes you have to ask yourself, where is your career going, and where do you want to be?

This week, we blogged about our interview with a senior Procurement contractor who decided he’d rather be a free agent than work in a permanent role. More and more Procurement professionals are making the switch to contract work, whether it’s for financial reasons, lifestyle reasons, or as an intro to a possible permanent role.
