Employees vs. Independent Contractors

Fri, 23 May 2008 15:10:41 PDT
In a guest post over at the Elance corporate blog, I’ve discussed a dilemma: when do you hire employees, and when do you outsource to independent contractors? One key advantage to independent contractors is that you can get a range of expertise by hiring multiple contractors, instead of a single employer: An independent contractor is ideal when you need specialized expertise or skills. Often as a small business it is difficult to find and hire subject matter experts as employees. That’s espe

I’m not a huge fan of what can be called “cut and paste” blogging. That where someone quotes a news article in it’s entirety and then follows up with a one-line comment like “that sucks!”. It’s easy to be prolific like that, especially if you’ve got nothing to say. However, the other day John Berger’s Ways of Seeing, hosted on YouTube, was brought to my attention via MetaFilter. Berger has a lot to say, all of which is interesting, and insightful. Dating from 1974, I’ve noticed a disturbing
