Types of hired help
Various sources can help to scale your business. Technology is one crucial element. The other is the people behind your product or solution.
You will need more people when your business grows, but they don't have to be full-time employees. You can hire different types of help, such as outsourced companies, subcontractors/freelancers, and full-time employees.

- You're hiring a professional who knows their craft and don't have to provide too much oversight.
Disadvantages

Outsourced companies
Advantages
- You have low maintenance. The company's team has a history of doing a specific type of work and requires the least overseeing.
- You don't have to work with the outsourced company again if you're dissatisfied with the outcome.
Disadvantages
- You have low control. You can't tell a company you've outsourced how to do the steps your way.
- You might encounter problems with differing work styles and expectations.

Remember to follow all laws
Ensure that you comply with all applicable labour laws to prevent severe consequences. For example, the US IRS can penalise employers who misclassify employees.
If you work with the applicable employment laws and treat your workers with care and respect, a strategic approach to hiring workers will benefit your company.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
