I think it makes sense for hiring a contractor, but not for someone you want to be a long term employee.

- xcambar 5y agoI'd have said the exact opposite. A contractor is typically on a short(ish) term mission, so they need to be very cost-effective. After all, they're costly yet disposable. An employee is an investment, so you can take the time to onboard/train them properly.
- RNCTX 5y agoYeah, the main reason for hiring a contractor is because the contractor has very specific experience with all of the quirks and flaws of XYZ thing that I need to implement, and can do in a few days what would take me a few weeks of learning the hard way.
- mostertoaster 5y agoI think this is what I meant. A senior level contractor you need to have the specific skills for specific tech, a senior level employee you plan to train so you don’t need to filter on specific tech familiarity.
- xcambar 5y agothanks for the clarification :+1:
