What to do?
Hire a full-time employee or
get a consultant for temporary work tasks?

When comparing cost-benefits for consultants versus W2 employees, several factors play a role: 

1. Initial costs: While consultants generally require higher hourly rates, there are no benefits to be paid.
2. Long-term costs: Consultants are more cost-effective for short-term jobs, while W2 employees are better for long-term work.
3. Flexibility: Consultants: Highly flexible, easy to scale up or down based on project needs, can provide specialized skills. For W2: Less flexibility but better continuity.

4. Expertise: Consultants often bring specialized and up-to-date expertise, while W2 folks may need ongoing training.
5. Speed and Efficiency: Consultants can start quickly with little onboarding, efficient for short-term projects.
6. Turnover and Retention: Consultants - low turnover as they are project-based. No retention concerns. 
 
A consensus exists that a hybrid approach, utilizing both consultants for specialized short-term needs and W2 employees for long-term, strategic
roles, is often the most effective solution
