Hiring Freelancers for Multiple roles📢 . . This is a sequal to my previous post on identifying recruiting scams🚨 Let's all face it, I know I'm not the only one seeing a huge influx of companies trying to hire "Freelancers" for Corporate positions that require full time work, with no company benefits 🚀 What makes these jobs different then Freelancers projects or contracts❓ 📌They require FIXED HOURS and timezones in which you'll need to work, many times on-site or under monitoring if remote. 👉🏻Freelancers however, should have the liberty to work with their own comfortable schedules given they deliver quality content before deadline. 📌They use the umbrella of OUTSOURCING to exploit freelancers with full time work of a corporate 9-5 indivisual. 👉🏻This way they can ESCAPE the obligation of providing added bonuses or benefits that an office employee receives like health insurance and paid vacations. (Exceptions are always there) 📌What to do in this case❓ Your actions are highly dependent on your preferences. If you as a freelancer want to hop onto an undercover-corporate job, Go ahead. 👉🏻But I believe it was crucial to highlight these key differences for the beginners in the field and prevent them from exploitation. What do you think differs a Freelancer from Corporate workers? 📢 Repost and Share for better reach so more freelancers can become Aware of this ongoing parade. #cfbr #hiring #job #jobalert #freelancingjobs #remote #hybrid #onsite #corporate

Has the process of hiring a freelance become overcomplicated?🧑💻 Freelancers and hiring managers are often two sides of the same coin. Some freelancers are ex-CTOs and Engineering Managers. Lots of hiring managers are freelancers themselves. E.g., Interim CTOs, PMs, Tech Leads etc. Even those who have never been freelancers are usually empathetic to the candidate's experience. But, the perception in my freelance network is that hiring processes feel more and more like you're applying to a permanent job. Since starting in recruitment, I have noticed a significant decrease in the involvement of line managers in the freelance hiring process. Some symptoms of this change have been noticed by freelancers👇 ❌ Slower response on CVs ❌ Recruiters who seemingly have no insight into what the client wants ❌ No feedback after unsuccessful interviews ❌ Over-reliance on generic tech tests ❌ A bidding war on rates (race to the bottom) Having spoken to thousands of hiring managers, I am aware that recruitment is only a tiny portion of their day job. But, historically, a good recruiter and a hiring manager can wrap up a freelance hire within 48 hours. So, gathering 50 CVs via a portal and interviewing over 2 weeks doesn't feel like time saved. Even the internal recruiters I speak with don't really want anything to do with freelance. They are busy enough with the internal roles that they are targeted on. So, do the new processes really work for anyone involved? #freelance #zzp #interim #devops

Offshore hiring falls into three types of roles: 1) Fast Track (Freelancers): • Quick • Flexible • and cost-effective. Ideal for short-term, specific tasks or projects. Think of it as the wholesales of offshore hiring - quick turnaround, minimal commitment. 2) Steady Pace (Contractors): A middle ground, similar to flips in real estate. More commitment than freelancers, contractors are great for medium-term projects. It's a balance between flexibility and stability. 3) Long Game (Full-Time Employees): This is the development/long holds of hiring. Full-time offshore employees require more investment upfront… in terms of training and integration. But they offer long-term benefits and growth for your business. When deciding on a strategy, consider which approach aligns best with your current operational needs and future growth. Is it one strategy you need? or a combination of all three? Match your choice with your business objectives. What are you most interested in? I’ll answer all questions in the comments.
