Abstract

Resource Link is an in-house temporary firm, supplying managers and technical workers to the 26 business units of AT&T on a contract basis. The challenge facing Resource Link is to grow, since an increasing number of managers are eager to use variable workers to staff their businesses. A decision facing Resource Link is whether to bring outsiders into the pool or to continue to rely on AT&T employees who choose this way of working.; To discuss the changing social contract linking individuals and firms; to discuss strategies for staffing firms in highly competitive and changing circumstances.
