In the past several months, there have been numerous articles about companies choosing to work with freelance and contract workers rather than hire full-time employees. Take, for instance, the article posted December 23rd at PR.com: Jobs 2010: Flexible Resources Says Part-Time and Freelance Will Make Up Bulk of New Hires.
As belts tighten and businesses look for new ways to save, consider just a few of the benefits of hiring a talented expert on a freelance or contract basis.
- Gain a high level of specialized experience without the commensurate salary
- Save money because there are no benefits or taxes to pay
- Use resources efficiently; hire them only when you need them
- Use your money more effectively; pay only for the time you use, not for time spent standing around the water cooler
Great freelancers are business owners, too and know how to put their customers first. You don’t have to be a big company to appreciate the value of a freelance or contract worker. Even as a sole proprietor and small business owner there comes a time when it’s more cost-effective and time-efficient for you to outsource.
