Ask HN: Why do you hire engineering contractors for mid-term job?
6 by JohanCutych | 0 comments on Hacker News.
We've been bootstrapping our business for quite some time now (over 7 years) and currently decided to look for mid-term contracts to boost the cashflow. Did you ever hire a developer for a 3-6 months contract? If so, who are you? What was the purpose of the hire? Where did you look for freelancers? I am asking as I struggle with this concept a little bit. In the realm of hardcore tech startups it seems like everyone tends to hire devs on full time positions with the desire to build strong and long lasting tech teams - which makes total sense.
