    The Pros and Cons of Hiring a Freelancer

    By Indy Tiger Design | Business Ideas | 0 comment | 24 July, 2018 | 0

    The freelance market has emerged as a powerful innovator during the past few years, and increasingly, organisations are hiring freelancers to reduce costs and create a flexible organisational model. One person cannot handle all the workload so it has become customary to outsource your tasks to freelancers. These are a group of talented employee, who offer their services online. Working from home, they can your solution to a tension free assignment.

    In this article, I will break down all the benefits and drawbacks associated with hiring a freelancer so you know all the risks involved.

    Here, take a look:

    Pros

    • Economical & Affordable
      Hiring a freelancer proves to be much more affordable and economical as opposed to hiring a full-time or even part-time employee. Since you are only paying them for the services they provide, you don’t have to worry about incurring other employee-related expenses or provide any kind of employee benefits.
    • Productive & Efficient
      Freelancers chose their own working hours, and since they only get paid once the project is complete, they are inclined to honour deadlines, take more work and complete it efficiently and accurately. They are capable of giving more hours to both long-term and short-term projects with flexible schedules.
    • Specialised Set of Skills
      Usually, freelancers tend to specialise in one set of skills, which is the skill set that you hire them for, for instance, web designers and developers design websites, content writers provide content, and graphic designers create graphics. The benefit is that they are competent and experienced, and you don’t have to waste a lot of time explaining or training them for the job.

    Cons

    • Tendency to Vanish
      As opposed to full-time and part-time employees, freelancers have no physical presence, hence, they can vanish anytime after a project has completed. If you enjoyed working with them, keep incontact, good designer are hard to come by.
    • Risk Factor
      When hiring a freelancer, there is always this initial risk about sharing confidential information about your organisation, along with the dilemmas about managing communication, deadlines and quality with an individual who will never walk into your premises.In such a situation, a thoroughly conducted interview via Skype or other video-calling platform can help you evaluate the freelancer. It is also wise to eliminate the risks by asking for sample articles or projects, and commission a sample of your own before actually delegating any tasks.Naturally, CV and skill sets can be faked, but once you ask for the sample, the freelancer will have to work on it, which will allow you to evaluate their skill set and quality.

    The one thing that you can do to avoid mishaps is to follow recommendations. Freelancers are often reviewed multiple times and these reviews can help guide you to a good freelancer. Of course, small hiccups can take place, every now and then. However, if you stick to some ground rules, you can often get your job done efficiently and at a reasonable cost.
