In many scenarios, hiring freelance professionals makes for a happy medium. They can help reduce some of the running costs of upcoming projects without compromising your company’s needs and standards. The question now is, ‘Where can you find these freelance developers?’. A lot of websites claim to have access to the freelance programmers you need. Do they deliver on these claims…?

In fact, 74% of recruiters say that they’re “barely able” or “unable” to find qualified tech candidates ( 2023 survey report ). Sourcing qualified candidates is the most crucial step of the recruitment process. There’s really not much point in optimizing your screening process or your onboarding process, if you can’t find candidates in the first place… right?

Mis-hiring is a common pain point that comes up regularly in these discussions. Bad hiring decisions are expensive. The cost of a mis-hire can be anywhere from 5 to 27 times an employee’s actual salary, and according to a three-year Leadership IQ study, 46% of new hires prove unsuccessful within 18 months! This means that a mis-hire for a tech position that pays $45,000 per year could cost your company anywhere from $225,000 to $1,215,000! That’s a lot of money – that you could be investing elsewhere.

In recruitment, “ghosting” is when a candidate, quite suddenly, disappears into thin air (like a ghost!). At some point in the recruitment process, they decide to end all communication for no apparent reason. They don’t call, they don’t email, they don’t text – they just evaporate. As the job market changes and the power balance shifts between candidates and recruiters, “ghost candidate” appearances are becoming more common. This is especially true in tech recruiting, where the tech talent shortage is giving developers the upper hand.

Even if you don’t need a customer-facing app, any business can benefit from internal apps. Indeed, a report from Fliplet found that businesses get an additional 240 hours of work from each employee who uses mobile enterprise apps. If you paid employees $30 per hour on average, your business would save $7,200 per year per employee from having internal apps.
