Reply To: At what point do you stop paying an agency and hire in-house?

Have you thought about talking to your current agency and seeing if there is room for a flat rate or negotiate. As an agency ourselves, we’d rather try and find a solution to keep you as a client, than lose you due to fee concerns.

With hiring an employee you have to think about benefits. But contractors/freelancers aren’t bad ideas, we have just found, through our own hiring efforts, a lot can talk the talk but many struggle to walk the walk.

We have used upwork, freelancer and LinkedIn for hiring.

LinkedIn is fantastic for W2 employees and is the only site we use for that.
Upwork has brought the highest quality contractors but we haven’t done that in a few years. We prefer to hire W2 now.
