#Freelancetips
The first step to building a high-performance team with freelancers is to figure out what skills you need help with. More than 80% of C-suite executives plan to focus on skills when hiring in 2025, including bringing in freelancers who are well-versed in generative AI. When evaluating your current team’s skills and weaknesses, consider both soft and hard skills.
- Hard skills are typically job-related and technical, such as using specific software programs, understanding complex equations, and preparing or delivering effective presentations.
- Soft skills are often considered personality traits (but can be learned). They include things like customer service acumen, being a good listener, having a strong work ethic, managing emotions, and giving or receiving feedback.
It’s also important to consider the kind of flexibility your team currently has, and whether or not you’d like to increase this level. If you find it hard to reallocate your team’s hours toward new projects as things crop up, you may benefit from the ability to bring in freelancers with specific skills when and how you need them.
“The efficiency gains from working in different time zones are massive. It’s always nice to come back to work in the morning and see their tasks completed”
