It typically takes several weeks or even months of interviewing to find and hire top talent. That is with an expensive recruiter and when you do find someone you want to hire, the successful candidate is often more expensive than you had planned, not even considering the recruiter expenses.
The Hire vs. Contract decision
Economic Risk -
Turn on any financial news station and you will hear conflicting statements regarding inflation, the health of the economy and its near-term direction.
You don't have an economic crystal ball, you need to run you business
and need additional great developers, but is it wise to take on added recruiting, salary, equipment, office, employment tax, medical, vacation and stock benefit costs right now? We all hope for the best, but should the economy turn or the new hires not work out, you will also have severance, unemployment insurance and possibly layoff concerns from your other developers.
