If your business is still utilizing freelancers, let\u2019s take a look at how they can let you down.<\/p>\n<h2>Restricted Interpersonal Interactions<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/mandmwebsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/restricted-interpersonal-interactions.jpg\" alt=\"Personal engagement is found on dedicated hiring\" width=\"769\" height=\"547\" \/><br \/>\nIn most cases, clients and freelancers are geographically miles apart, so there\u2019s no way both parties can come together to discuss a pressing concern face to face. Today, even though there are applications like Skype, it\u2019s not like having a physical discussion to take issues head on.<\/p>\n<p>The relation between the client and a freelancer is completely professional \u2014 it\u2019s good in a way but lacks the thrust that can only come from personal engagement.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h2>Absence of Commitment<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/mandmwebsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/absence-of-commitment.jpg\" alt=\"Advantages of having a dedicated team who always try to complete deliverables\" width=\"769\" height=\"442\" \/><br \/>\nIn stressful cases like a site going down, we often get to see your dedicated team working whole night and leaving the office next day morning. Employees are obligated to give their best to make sure deliverables are delivered on time. Unfortunately, such levels of commitment can\u2019t be expected from a freelancer.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h2>Loss of Productivity<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/mandmwebsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/loss-of-productivity.jpg\" alt=\"Low productivity\" width=\"769\" height=\"442\" \/><br \/>\nGenerally, freelancers are either hired on a per-task or hourly basis. That takes out the \u2019extra bit\u2019, from the overall productivity. Though freelancers save money on both platforms, operational and infrastructural, their level of dedication is nowhere near an employee on the payroll.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h2>No Long-Term Relationship<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/mandmwebsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/no-long-term-relationship.jpg\" alt=\"Nothing Is Permanent in web based freelancing job\" width=\"769\" height=\"442\" \/><br \/>\nThere are agencies and partners who have served a single organization for decades. However, when freelancers are hired, it\u2019s mainly on an assignment or a project, so the involvement, commitment, and the personal bonding is largely left out. An employee&#8217;s attachment with an organization is crucial in a market where it\u2019s getting increasingly difficult to retain them. The connection makes managers and team leaders stay on-board for years, or may be, even decades.<\/p>\n<p>However, this is not the case for freelancers. They will just walk out of the door and work for anyone who pays more. No strings attached.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h2>Disappearing Acts<\/h2>\n<p>Freelancers feel they have a right to disappear, and clients can do nothing about it. There are several instances of freelancers disappearing while working regularly for a client, or just like that in the middle of a project.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the case with agency partners, who have a reputation to keep in order to run their business. Most of them will operate as your dedicated team and will happily sign a contract or agreement. This ensures a peace of mind, while you can expect them to work as a team to deliver more projects at faster turnarounds as opposed to a single freelancer.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h2>Lack of Team Spirit<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/mandmwebsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/lack-of-team-spirit.jpg\" alt=\"Lack of team spirit in freelancing job\" width=\"769\" height=\"442\" \/><br \/>\nFreelancers never make a good team. And, even if you manage to get multiple freelancers together to work as a \u2018team\u2019, you\u2019ll end up having to manage the whole setup or else things will quickly fall apart. An agency on the other hand, comes ready with an equipped team so they can efficiently take the burden off your shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>Hiring freelancers may seem like a cost-effective way to outsource work, but given the risks we\u2019ve mentioned above, entrepreneurs should think twice before hiring one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If your business is still utilizing freelancers, let\u2019s take a look at how they can let you down.
