"Great point Debbie! I'm a big fan of doing what I do best and outsourcing the rest.
I'm also a big fan of one throat to choke though - I prefer to single source."

Debbie Fledderjohann commented on Chris Connolly's blog post 'To Contract or Not to Contract?'"You can run your own back-office and outsource the payroll only to a company like ADP, but just keep in mind that there are many other employment tasks you will have to undertake. If you are equipped to handle those items by yourself, it may be…"

Chris Connolly commented on Chris Connolly's blog post 'To Contract or Not to Contract?'"I don't simply do payroll funding - we provide a full suite of front office tools (ATS access, job boards, job split boards) *and* payroll, billing and collections, employer of record *and* business insurance.

Jerry Albright commented on Chris Connolly's blog post 'To Contract or Not to Contract?'"The average "float" for a contractor is around 10K. if you can pull that off yourself you'll save a ton of money. Far better/cheaper sources of money than a payroll funding company. Granted - it's a an easier…"

Chris Connolly commented on Chris Connolly's blog post 'To Contract or Not to Contract?'"@Amber - I guess nothing in life is easy - but with the hiring tide still leaning heavily toward contract vs. perm, I think taking the time to find the resources and the services to support the back office are worth the $$, don't you?

Bill Schultz commented on Chris Connolly's blog post 'To Contract or Not to Contract?'"Some may disagree but I think it's a fairly different mindset to recruit contractors than FTE's.
