How to Get Started as an HR Contractor
Start with self-assessment. Here are some initial questions to consider:
- Which area(s) of HR do you prefer? (Keep in mind that, as a contractor, you will need to be able to step into the role with little or no guidance, so this is the time to identify your HR strengths.)
- What is your availability? (e.g., When can you start? How many hours would you like to work – minimum and maximum?)
- Are you ultimately looking for a permanent role?
- Would you consider a contract-to-permanent role?
- Do you need benefits?
- What is your minimum hourly rate?
- Do you want to learn more? Contact us!

Here’s feedback from a recently placed HR Contractor:
“Working with Clark Schaefer Strategic HR takes away the anxiety and pressure of applying for numerous jobs. I enjoy working with them as they specialize in unique and diverse jobs within HR that are not readily available to the general public. They have direct connections with clients, and as a contractor, I get the first opportunity to be presented in front of those clients.
Clark Schaefer Strategic HR works hard to match me with roles that are aligned with my personality and skillsets, and they do a wonderful job communicating and keeping me engaged throughout the entire process.”
