Why a contractor, not a hire
- You pay for the work, not a fixed headcount.The rate runs while the project runs.
- No hiring funnel.I can usually start within days, not months.
- No payroll tax, benefits, or equipment on top of the rate.The rate is the cost.
- The contract has an end date.No severance process, no notice-period ambiguity.
Not sure yet if the role should be permanent? A contract lets you validate the workload and the working relationship first.
