What staffing means at NM
Our staffing practice supplies contract, temporary and payrolled talent across professional and operational roles. NM acts as the employer of record: we handle the contract, payroll, statutory contributions and compliance, and you direct the work.
That structure matters. Contract staffing done informally creates real exposure, misclassification, unpaid statutory dues, gaps in insurance. We run it properly, with documented contracts, monthly compliance and auditable records.
Contract-to-hire is available on every placement, so a contractor who proves themselves can convert to your payroll on pre-agreed terms rather than a renegotiation.
What usually goes wrong, and how we handle it
Headcount is frozen but work is not
Contract resources sit outside permanent headcount while still delivering, with cost booked to project or opex budgets.
Compliance exposure on informal contractors
As employer of record we carry PF, ESIC, professional tax, insurance and statutory filings, with documentation available for audit.
Demand is seasonal
Scale a workforce up and down against a demand curve without permanent restructuring cost.
You want to trial before committing
Contract-to-hire terms are agreed at the start, so conversion is a decision rather than a negotiation.

What employers say

Staffing Services, frequently asked
NM is the employer of record. We issue the employment contract, run payroll, make statutory contributions and maintain compliance records, while you direct the day-to-day work.

Yes. Contract-to-hire conversion terms are agreed at the start of the engagement so conversion is a straightforward decision rather than a fresh negotiation.
For operational and support roles with immediately available candidates, deployment is typically within a week of confirmation. Specialist technical contractors take longer depending on notice period.
