Key insights

  • Start with a function-by-function audit of SOW, IC, AOR, and pre-identified talent usage

  • Do not assume every ‘pre-identified’ worker was truly known before the hiring process

  • Map where each function sources independent contractors and how many it engages

  • Standardize policies for classification, payments, identity verification, and compliance

  • Use specialist expertise where internal data or processes are incomplete

  • A contingent workforce program should maximize access to flexible, fractional talent

  • Every program needs a systematic, compliant path for IC and AOR engagement
