For today’s episode, we are going to take a dive into the reasons why a company should choose full-time employees vs freelancers.
This episode is not meant to discourage companies from hiring freelancers but to merely highlight the advantages of having a virtual full-time employee on your team.
Freelancers are the fruit of the digital age. They can work remotely but still add value to your business. All fruits however have both good and bad ones. You’re lucky if you get your hands on an all-rounder — ripe with experience, rich in output, and juicy with motivation.
But what if you find yourself with someone who hasn’t aged quite well? Or someone rotten? In this episode, we talk about the reasons why getting a full-time employee is better than relying on your luck in finding a good freelancer.
Here are just some of the advantages of having full-time employees vs freelancers:
- Stability
The thought of having the same people to work for you without worrying about dealing with a different person whenever a project ends can surely help lift the weight of the burden off of your mind. There is no assurance that the freelancer will still take a project from you because they have the authority to decide on the work they want to do or who to work with.
- The Journey for Search
Working with an outsourcing company to search for prospective candidates to work for you can truly help improve your business since they know who to look for based on your needs. If you need more people or the person you chose left you hanging, they can provide a backup employee to fill the gap.
- Consistency
You will not train or give an orientation of what you need from this person to do for you over and over again which makes it more productive. Plus, career and business growth are the mutual benefits that you and the full-time employee with gain from this arrangement.
- Scalability
Outsourcing companies seek efficient ways in finding like-minded people with the skillset that you need and further expand your team without the hassle of doing it yourself. On top of that, it is cost-effective!
