Edl Consulting AG’s Post

There's no way I'm sharing the cake 🙅♀️ – this is probably what many freelancers think of when it comes to working together on a project. But if done right, freelancer collaborations can be a win-win-win situation for everyone involved.   That was certainly the case when I recently worked with Alexandra Edl from Edl Consulting AG on an HR project for the car rental company Sunny Cars . Alexandra led the project, and I supported her from the background without direct client contact, providing ad hoc expertise where needed. Our collaboration made sure that the client received the best possible service.   Here is what I have learned: 💡 Freelancer collaborations are particularly useful when the project scope is broad and requires diverse know-how. In my case, I supported Alexandra with additional expertise on Skill Matrices, Salary Benchmarking and Salary Bands. 💡 The most important requirement is to get the client's agreement for collaboration, as clients often prefer to work with a single consultant. It is therefore important to ensure that the customer experience remains seamless, that the client has a single point of contact, and that communication is clear and simple. 💡 For clients, freelancer collaborations are a great way to access specialized knowledge on an as-needed basis, keeping costs down and efficiency high. And the results will certainly be better than hiring a generalist consultant.   My project with Alexandra was my first experience collaborating with another freelancer in this capacity – and I will certainly do it again.   Have you had any experience with freelancer collaborations? How did they work out for you? Let's discuss in the comments! 💬
