[quote=Anonymous]I’m dealing with a somewhat awkward situation and curious how others have handled something similar.
We have a contractor supporting my team through a consulting firm. Over the past couple of months she’s been reaching out more and more frequently (now almost weekly) about wanting to leave her consulting company and join our department full time.
The challenge is that she’s not fully qualified for the type of role she’s pushing for. She does fine in the scope she was brought in for, but the jump she’s asking about isn’t really aligned with her current skill set or what we need.
I also don’t want to damage the working relationship since she’s still actively supporting the team through the contract. So far I’ve been non-committal, but the continued asks are starting to make things a bit uncomfortable.
For those of you managing contractors or consulting resources, how have you handled situations where someone keeps pushing for a full-time role that realistically isn’t a fit? Do you address it directly, redirect them back to their firm, or just keep it neutral?[/quote]
