[VIDEO] How to hire a freelancer

9 min watch.

 

Working with freelancers can be GREAT for lots of reasons:

 

(1) The project might have a limited timeframe and you don’t need a full time member of staff,

 

(2) You can get a very specific set of skills for a specific budget,

 

(3) It’s generally easier and more affordable to bring on a freelancer than hiring a full time member of staff.
