eBook: Fix the Gap: How to Use Contractors to Rescue Projects
When Your Project Starts to Slip, Here’s How to Fix the Gap
Every project manager knows the feeling. Deadlines move. Key people leave. Budgets tighten. The scope changes just as you thought things were under control.
The truth is, even the best-run projects hit problems. What separates successful delivery teams from struggling ones is how quickly they act when things start to slide.
That is exactly what Anita Jagar’s new eBook, “Fix the Gap: How to Use Contractors to Rescue Projects,” is designed to help with.
Why You Should Read It
In just a few pages, Anita breaks down the simple, practical steps that turn project recovery from stressful firefighting into structured action.
The guide explains:
-
How to spot the early signs that your project is at risk (before it is too late)
-
Why contractors are the fastest, lowest-risk way to stabilise delivery
-
The key specialist roles that can bring your project back on track
-
How to brief your recruiter effectively so the right people arrive quickly
-
Ways to measure impact and avoid repeat issues after recovery
Whether your challenge is late milestones, resource burnout or quality slippage, this guide shows you how to plug the gaps fast and regain control.
A Practical, No-Fluff Read for Delivery Teams
On page 4, Anita highlights how contractors bring immediate speed, focus and flexibility - often joining within days, without the long onboarding that permanent hires require.
Later, on page 7, she explains how to hire fast without cutting corners, with clear advice on contracts, reference checks and IR35 compliance.
Every section is built around real-world project scenarios and written for busy people who need answers now, not theory.
Why Contractors Are the Smartest Fix
Hiring contractors is not just about plugging a short-term hole. As Anita writes on page 11, contractors act as “your delivery safety net.” They bring clarity, calm and direction when deadlines are closing in and team morale is low.
They are not just extra hands. They are highly skilled problem-solvers who have rescued similar projects before and know exactly where to focus first.
