About Flexitimers

Flexitimers was started because we believed in two compelling facts:

  1. Firstly, many experienced professionals today have a wealth of experience in their chosen field and either like to work flexibly or have got to work flexibly due to other commitments.  Finding flexible work of a professional level was difficult as there was no where for them to post their skills and employers to advertise projects – enter Flexitimers.
  2. Secondly, in today’s business environment hiring full time permanent staff is too expensive, therefore companies of all sizes and types need to find professionals in a quick and efficient manner to work flexibly.  That means not hiring full time staff but hiring people for projects or contract positions. Companies know what they want and Flexitimers is how they can get it – no need for recruitment agencies.
