Onboarding Independent Contractors
Effectively integrating independent contractors ensures they understand their roles and can contribute from day one. This process differs from traditional employee onboarding and requires tailored steps.
How to Do It
1. Collect Necessary Information.
Gather essential details and documents from contractors, such as identification, contact details, and tax forms like the W-9. Ensure all information is securely stored and integrated into your payroll system.
2. Set Up Payment Systems.
Use anonymous resume screening and remove age-related information from job applications to reduce unconscious bias during the hiring process.
3. Provide Access to Tools and Systems.
Grant contractors access to essential tools like Asana, Trello, and Slack, enabling them to start working efficiently.
4. Integrate Contractors into Your Team.
Introduce freelancers to key team members and provide an overview of company processes and culture. Facilitate their integration into the team to foster collaboration and smooth communication.
5. Evaluate Contractor Performance.
Set clear performance metrics and conduct regular reviews to provide feedback and address any issues. This ensures contractors meet expectations and contribute effectively.
