Add a contractor

Adding a contractor walks you through their details, pay, and agreement, then sends them an invitation to onboard.

Before you start

• The Add contractors permission (Talents onboarding)
• The contractor’s name, email, and country
• Their rate and how often they’ll invoice

Add the contractor

1. Go to Talents → Add and choose Contractor.
2. Pricing plan — pick the plan for this hire.
3. Talent details — name, email, employment country, and direct report.
4. Job and compensation — position, start date, the compensation unit (Annual, Monthly, Daily, or Hourly), amount and currency, and the contractor invoicing frequency (Weekly, Bi-weekly, Semi-monthly, Monthly, or one-time).
5. Compliance — choose the agreement type (see below) and pick the first signatory.
6. Review contract (for a Flamingo or custom agreement) — preview the PDF and send it for signing.
7. Summary — review everything, then click Send Invite.

Agreement types

At the Compliance step you choose how the contract is created and signed:

• Use standard Flamingo agreement — Flamingo’s built-in template, generated and signed online through our e-signature partner, PandaDoc.
• Use custom template — your own saved template, also generated and signed online through PandaDoc.
• Use your own agreement — upload a contract you’ve already signed outside Flamingo. There’s nothing to send for signature, so the Review contract step is skipped.
