ESL Podcast 588 – Hiring Business Consultants

Erica: So your suggestion is to hire outside consultants 2 to handle the extra work associated with the expansion.
Stefan: I think there are a lot of benefits: we get someone with the right expertise 3 quickly, we can use him or her as needed, and we can save on employment taxes and benefits. What’s not to like?
Erica: I’m just not sure that’s the right move right now.
Stefan: To me, it’s a no-brainer. We call the shots. If we don’t like the consultant 1’s work, then we can terminate our relationship at any time.
Erica: Yes, but that also means that the consultant won’t feel any company loyalty 4 and could quit working with us whenever he or she wanted to, leaving us in a lurch 5.
Stefan: That’s true, but that’s also true of any employee. Company loyalty is a thing of the past. I really think we should move ahead.
Erica: Well, I think we should take it one step at a time. Start with contracting consultants for smaller projects and see how they do before we have them work on this big one.
Stefan: Okay, I can live with that, as long as we don’t drag our feet in getting people started on the big project.
Erica: Don’t worry. If I drag my feet, I know you’ll tow me along.
