At my current gig they have brought in several contractors recently, on pretty decent rates. Do these reasons make a contractor better value than a perm?
Contractors:
1) Have more varied experience at different ways of doing things at different types of companies and across industries
2) Are more highly motivated as money is less an issue for them and they can concentrate on the job at hand
3) Are more highly motivated as they have little time to get up to speed and to prove themselves capable of delivery
4) Have more attention to detail and focus on quality as they want to build relationships with Clients and don't want to burn and bridges
5) Quickly pick up new skills as they have become adept at responding to different market conditions
All in all, would the above (and perhaps you can suggest more) mean it often makes more sense to hire external expertise to deliver a project?
