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

Does your business have projects that need documenting?
Do you need to create and online help desk? One of the jobs we took on involved a company that had a help desk with so many phone calls, that they finally said: "Enough" and created an intranet with all the questions their 400 employees asked.
That cut down in the number of phone calls.
We can create that for you.
