Some figures

In 2014, 53 million American workers were self-employed, which represents 34% of the US workforce.

In 2014, more than 85% of the middle class worked as freelancers in France between 2004 and 2013.

With the current economic situation, more and more companies are regularly recruiting freelancers to achieve their goals.

So what are the valid reasons for a company to use these professionals?

5 good reasons to recruit a freelancer

1.  They are available

In the event of a one-off, imminent need, the freelancer is the right man for the job. It may happen that the company is looking for a particular skill that it does not have… so it will post its project online and select the best profile to fulfil the mission.

Once the freelancer has been hired, he or she will sign a service contract and can then start work. It takes only a few days to start the process and complete it.

2.  He is autonomous

The freelancer is his own boss and manages his own schedule. By taking part in the mission, he will invest himself entirely because he alone is responsible for the final result.

A good freelancer will work on an assignment if he/she has the required skills and the time to do so, because with each project it is his/her reputation that is at stake. In addition, he must prioritise the satisfaction of his client as this will serve as a reference to contribute to his reputation. The main objective of the freelancer is to establish a close relationship with his clients in order to be recommended.

3.  He has professional skills

A freelancer is above all an expert in his field of activity. He develops several expertises in various missions where he is able to improve his skills.

Moreover, to stay at the forefront of the professional field, freelancers must constantly train.

Therefore, working with freelancers is the guarantee of dealing with real experts, who are up-to-date in their field.

In addition to being an expert, a freelancer is a real consultant, able to step back from a project and advise you. As a result, he or she is able to look at the project with fresh eyes and discover its flaws.

4. He is flexible

A freelancer is self-employed and does not have a real permanent office. He can therefore easily adapt to all new situations and can perform tasks at home and at clients’ premises, depending on his needs.

They plan their time according to their clients and carry out the task to which they are fully committed.

For recruiters, hiring freelancers is the possibility to benefit from expert resources when they are really needed.

5. It has low rates

Hiring freelancers is cost-effective for companies because it allows recruiters to meet specific needs without the added formalities of creating jobs. By contracting freelancers, companies charge less. Freelancers only have to pay the company the price for carrying out the task, which is defined with estimates from the start.

In addition, the freelancer is free to set his or her own rates, the operating costs are not high, and he or she can offer attractive prices to clients.

By using a freelancer for different tasks, the entrepreneur is assured of a responsible, highly responsive, committed, expert and dynamic professional. They will be dealing with a person they can trust, who will be able to help and advise them to make their project a complete success.

Here are a lot of good and convincing reasons to hire a freelancer, if you haven’t already done so!
