Every business is watching their budget at the moment. Hiring a freelancer during a recession can give a business the expertise, flexibility and strategic support to weather hard economic times.

My AIIP colleague, Linda Rink, gave these great reasons why having a freelancer do just that in your business can be smart.

The benefits of having a freelancer are…
1) Freed up staff time for core business or urgent tasks
2)    Reduced costs by not having to hire more staff
3)    Specialised expertise not available in-house
4)    Objective third-party evaluation and recommendations
5)    Extra resources when you need them
6)    Ability to compete with larger companies 
7)    Reduced “ramp-up” time for new initiatives
8)    Fresh perspectives from outside your organisation
