Staffing agencies are favored by businesses because they help offload much of the hiring/HR/legal and allow the business to focus on it's main concerns. From a contractor standpoint, as long as the pay meets your requirements, why not? You could hypothetically be making more without them, but there are a lot of assumptions in that hypothesis, and if you could get the contract yourself you would already have it.
- jes 4y agoAll of what you say makes sense. One option, I suppose, is take the gig and work it for a year, while working on finding a better one during that time. I really don't like the idea of having a third party in the mix, for the same reason I wouldn't want a third party moderating my relationship with my partner. I also think burdening the business relationship with 25 - 30% overhead isn't helpful. Yet like you say, if the deal meets my financial constraints, why should I care? Thanks for the help.
