To get everything done, they resort to contracting out their business functions to third-party providers.
Some of the functions they outsource include content writing, customer service, design, and research, among many others.
Outsourcing helps save on salaries and buying office equipment as you would normally do with in-house employees.
Contractors charge a fraction of the cost you would need to pay if you recruited someone internally.

Hiring contractors part-time helps companies outsource some of the vital organization’s work that is not within their power zone. You cannot be good at everything your company needs but you can get someone to do what you are not skilled in. For example, not everyone can create engaging content yet they need such for their websites.
We can help you learn how to contract some of your most important work to freelancers through our well-crafted course. Here is what you will learn through our course:
You will learn about the right platforms where you can find the ideal freelancers. You can search for the job you are hiring for and see where other jobs for the same role are posted. Some of the best platforms to find the ideal freelancer include Fiverr, Upwork, and Indeed. These platforms are filled with qualified freelancers willing to take on your projects. We will also teach you many other platforms that you can use to post your job and get the right candidate. We’ll highlight sources like: Fiverr, Upwork, Indeed, Freelancer.com, Belay SolutionsZirtual…And many more!
Any successful business person hires out as they are not robots that can work non-stop without getting tired. Also, they don’t possess all the required expertise to run their businesses. By subcontracting, the position can either pay for themselves or free up their schedules so that they can concentrate on more important tasks. Our course will teach you when and what to hire out for so that you can concentrate on building your empire.
Hiring out is one thing and writing the right job description is another. Firstly, you will be hiring out for services that you either don’t have experience or know-how in. So, knowing how to craft a good job description could prove difficult. We’ll show you how to tackle this situation with confidence.
• Going through each resume and application to determine which candidate is hungry enough to work with your company and make a positive impact on your business
• Asking for relevant samples from these contractors or testimonials from satisfied clients whom they worked with in the past to help you gauge their capabilities
• Communication between you and the contractors is vital, and you should be a great communicator as you can train them on anything else.
• When you are looking through resumes and you think they are a “maybe”, you should pass and look for a definite YES.
• Picking the top five candidates and carrying out a video interview to build a rapport if you are looking for a long-term collaboration. Although not all selected contractors will respond to your interview invitation, ensure that you interview at least two freelancers before settling on the best one.
Once you have found the right contractor, you need to learn how to manage them. This involves:
• Giving them clear expectations and letting them take the lead if they are experienced
• Asking questions on how they intend to achieve your company’s goals.
• Getting the outline of their process for you so that you can have a better understanding of what to expect.
• Checking in on your contractors and holding them accountable for their results.
• Offering them positive feedback. Giving them positive feedback will motivate them to even deliver better results.
• Celebrating your wins and retaining any contractor that brings value to your business
By investing in the best contractors, they help you grow your business. They do this by handling everything needed for the business that you don’t have the technical know-how.
