# What is redeployment rate?

Source: https://launch-rec.com/glossary/redeployment-rate. Category: Operations. Market: US and UK.

## Definition

The share of contractors you place again when an assignment ends. It is the cheapest growth lever a contract desk has.

## In practice

A contractor you already employ needs no sourcing spend, no re-vetting and no onboarding delay. Every point of redeployment lifts margin without lifting cost.

Agencies that hit 50%+ redeployment usually run a disciplined 30-day-before-end-of-assignment process rather than any clever technology.
