Not OP, but in my book consultant and freelancer are orthogonal terms. You can be both at the same time. Consultants are brought in to address specific problems -- often on a freelance basis. I believe what OP is trying to avoid is being "expensive furniture", "body shopping", essentially being a long term employee without any of the benefits, that sort of thing.
- artembugara 6y agoIMO, freelancer is someone who resolves a well-defined problem. Consultant is someone who finds a solution (then, usually, resolves it). So, hiring a freelancer when you do not understand what a solution should be is usually a misstep.
