TO AVOID TOO MUCH HIRING OF STAFF ,, THEY TAKE THE REQUIRED SERVICES WHEN & WHERE NEEDED ............... GOOD DAY
Service firms and most businesses operating in the service sector rely heavily on labour and pay extra attention to labour-cost too. Where one staff-member in the product sectors can handle multiple product-lines, hundreds of customers or tens of vendors at once, in the service industry it is often a head-to-head interaction, meaning that every employee/expert/service provider will be charged with one or few clients at once to achieve high quality service provision.
Without using external expertise, whether on freelance-basis or interim-basis, a service firm cannot operate fully. Growth of such companies cannot correspond linearly in growth of manpower, or the smallest company will have to employ hundreds if not thousands of people with all costs associated with inventory, overh-head, salary, tax premiums, extra benefits and low ROI.
I used to run an agency before (= intermediary with final responsibility role), relying heavily on the expertise of thousands of freelance language service providers. Without them, my business model could not have functioned or become profitable.
Good Day!!!
Agreed to both Salauddin & Zafar......... To control the administrative & process cost.
Because the companies don't have inhouse expertise for this, and it costs less hiring consultants comparing to building inhouse expertise... Also, the source companies can put more risk costs on the consuting companies which makes them safer..
