Why Choose Freelance Workers

Why Choose Freelance Workers?

In the construction industry there seems to be the perception that hiring a freelance worker is not the best option as it is thought that freelance workers are too expensive, have no loyalty and could move on at any point.

But Edge Careers believe that hiring freelance professionals can be beneficial to your business.

So What Are The Benefits?

As there is an ever increasing demand for construction professionals across the UK and a lack of skilled professionals available, finding a new permanent member of staff can be a very time consuming process. This is down to having to find the people that actually want to move from their current company and then them working their notice periods, which can often be anything from 1 – 6 months. So hiring a freelance option would be useful for you to provide cover whilst a permanent worker is ready to start.

Other Reasons to hire a freelance worker

You may have just won a new contract and you need to recruit for your team to ensure you can meet deadlines and deliver to your client on time.

Winning a one off project which is outside of your normal region of operation, so it would be unadvantageous to hire a permanent worker in the long run.

Construction on a project is starting imminently and you urgently need someone to lead the team.

You have just had a member of your permanent team leave the team at a critical time in a project.

For all of the points, the obvious solution is to hire a freelance worker so you can focus on driving your business forward.

Isn’t a Freelance Worker Only a Short Term Solution?

No, most contractors will employ freelance workers for the length of a project and if you then see them becoming a vital asset to your business for future projects, you can offer them a temp to perm deal.

 

At Edge Careers we have dedicated Freelance and Trades & Labour teams, who can offer temporary staff at all levels within your company.

If you are looking for freelance staff to join a live or upcoming project then register your vacancy with us here.
