Ease of Hiring

• As an employer, you undergo a simpler process of hiring a freelancer as opposed to an employee. This is because you only need to go through their portfolios to decide if you are going to take on their services. In the case of employees, you need to go through their resumes, conduct interviews and evaluate different individuals as per the requirements of your business before. You settle on a suitable candidate because you need the employee for a long-term basis. Hiring a freelancer streamlines this procedure, saving you time.
  
  

Payment Expenses

• Freelancers are paid based on the cost of his services or the rate he presents you for his services for the particular project. This price is usually not subject to change during the particular period you have contracted the freelance worker. For an employee, in addition to salaries or wages, you incur costs related to employee benefits such as health insurance, expenses on employee equipment such as desks and office electronics.
  
  

Level of Expertise

• The level of expertise of a freelancer is more likely to be superior to an employee in regard to a particular project. This is because freelancers usually have to keep up with the competition in the market through advanced training and certification to polish their skills. When undertaking a particular project that is outside the scope of expertise within your organization, it can be more efficient to hire a qualified freelance worker rather than to train employees to carry out a certain project.
  
  

Commitment Level

• A freelancer is likely to give you a higher level of commitment as compared to an employee. This is mainly boosted by the fact that a freelance worker has to build the image of his services through providing quality work. He has fewer distractions in terms of the office activities, such as evaluations, promotions or hostile office relationships. This allows the freelancer to fully concentrate on the particular project in order to deliver work on time.
