Anybody have any experience working as a subcontractor at L3H in a "leased labor" arrangement?
When I was at L3 (many years ago) we had a number of such folks they'd bring on for short term support. But I heard L3H has standardized on a single company to hire all the contractors (I dont know what the correct term is here for people working on-site more or less as employees but they're not actually L3 employees).
Wonder if we'll see more of this going forward.
Asking for a former friend.
The contractor process was made more formal with L3H, old L3 had contractors working for years on end which can be problematic legally. If a need is permanent, they should fill it with a real employee anyway. Assignment length limits were put in place and the process to approve exceptions would go way up to segment leadership including legal.
I believe they did centralize to a single vendor but they likely subcontract stuff out 2 or 3 agencies down the line to get the candidates.
Agency hires, or "job shoppers" are basically temporary to permanent hires. This is done so the company can evaluate you during that time before offering you a permanent job. If you're the type that's happy with a 2% raise and promotions based solely on race and gender, you fall into the category the upper management secretly refers to as:
"Useful i d i o t s ".

The rest of us will be watching too. And laughing our as--s off.
I worked at a place (former L-3) where we had a number of contractors who had retired from L3 (or one of its predecessors) and came back. I think many of them worked for the same contracting company/staffing agency. I don't know if L3Harris has continued this practice but many companies use this type of arrangement, somehow it saves money at least on the books, since these people tend to get a high hourly rate and their actual employer gets a cut as well.
Contractors. I think they go through Henkel here in Waco.
Job shopper, or temp to permanent hires without company benefits.
From what I'm seeing, if they are going through an agency, that agency needs to route through the new preferred agency if they can't directly. Ultimately costs more because 2 agencies are getting fees.
