WEB studio with freelancers?

Question

Career in IT

There is an ordinary web studio with 4-5 employees, the average salary is 50-60 tr. + taxes etc. Why WEB studios do not completely refuse the services of employees in the office, if you can hire freelancers for the same tasks and they will actually work for free? Are there any legal issues?

Answer 1

1. Freelancer is a black hole. There is no guarantee that you will find a good specialist the first time. You will spend a lot of time walking around like a port whore, you will lose a lot of time and effort. As a result, most likely you will find a specialist, but at what cost?
2. No word for free. Only young specialists whom you educate will work for free. And then not for long, gradually their interest and paternal sympathies disappear, people tend to develop.
3. Cheap freelancing offers can be immediately dismissed, the chance that these specialists can do something sharply approaches zero. Normal offers are close to the studio ones in terms of cost.
Conclusion: You can build your web studio only from your colleagues in the shop with whom you have already worked. To do this, it is desirable to be a freelancer yourself or work in a studio. However, in addition to personnel work, you should have a ton of knowledge from the category of a little bit of everything. Otherwise, you will be left without money with noodles on your ears.

Answer 2

freelancers for the same tasks and they will actually work for free?

Freelancers who work virtually for free do almost nothing.
Freelancers who can close all the tasks of a web studio usually earn more.

Answer 3

A spherical freelancer in a vacuum is much harder to control and almost impossible to hold accountable. Especially those who work "virtually for free." At the same time, your web-studio, as a legal entity, has an agreement with the customer and bears all the risks. Simply put, while you are going bankrupt, your freelancers will lead almost for free to the same couple more of the same dodgers.

Answer 4

1 normal freelancer costs like all 5 employees. But he still needs to be found.

Answer 5

This is an organizational issue.

Answer 6

1) Deadlines - there is no guarantee that everything will be done before a certain time, the maximum that a freelancer loses in this case is a little time for negotiations, and, possibly, a little working time. Perhaps - because the probability that he will do nothing at all is non-zero. The studio loses: Client, money for a penalty, reputation and nerves.
2) Quality and uniform style - just forget it. Supporting your project will either be damn expensive or bloody hellish.
3) Responsibility and priority for your tasks are absent.
There are still a lot of non-obvious things, such as inconsistencies in design and functionality, lack of quick communication, everything is done through a single center - the studio, and from one point to another it comes xs how and xs when.

Answer 7

Minimal tax cover. Well, freelancers work as they are paid. That is, in your case, 300 rubles per hour.

Answer 8

Yes, there are slaves willing to do things for free. I'm already thinking of organizing a web studio)

Answer 9

No one will work for free, there is frankly no skew that remote work is cheaper now, people who know how to work remotely boldly go to work to the west, why the hell are they your miserable 60 when they can work there for 120, where did you get the idea that you can do the same Is it good to organize remote work like in the office? These are different things and everything works differently. There are a lot of remote employees in a bunch of studios, especially some specialized ones who are not constantly needed.
Legally, usually all remote workers work in the same way as office workers.

Answer 10

regular web studio with 4-5 employees, average salary 50-60 tr. + taxes etc.

Even for our darevne, a modest salary, I must say. Are you a business owner? Do you have experience managing projects with a freelance team? Or just like that, noodles fall from the ears?
"Free" freelancers that you pretend to pay - pretend to work :) Deadlines? Don't give a damn, "for free" he will leave you at the first sneeze :) And you, by the way, have an agreement with the customer, and there may be sanctions for failure to meet the deadline.
Quality of work? Don't give a damn, "for free" he will leave you ... (etc.)
A person who is able to work the way it should - usually sets the conditions himself when hiring :)

Answer 11

Why WEB studios do not completely refuse the services of employees in the office, if you can hire freelancers for the same tasks and they will actually work for free?

Such web studios, as a rule, do not live long because each of their clients comes to them for the first and last time.

Answer 12

Five business plan!
For the most part, freelancers are either used to working alone and are satisfied with everything, or they take on everything in general, not being responsible for either quality or deadlines, they don’t care, one client leaves - another will come. Neither one nor the other people in the team, remote or in the office, are needed. We had experience with two strong freelancers accepted on a permanent basis - it didn’t grow together, then the working day starts too early, then the rate is not the one you are used to, at best, it will be possible to work with several proven people on a project basis, but they still need to be found.

Answer 13

Trick question. It can be interpreted as follows: "how to file a project, not pay the performers (almost not pay) and take the profit for yourself?" I can wish you success in your search :) Then they are offended why domestic business is not loved in the country.

Answer 14

Here the concepts are mixed to the point of complete absurdity.
Who will hire some Vasya to develop something WEB? On the other hand, the big media (over the hill) use freelancers to the fullest, Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man, is a vivid example of a freelancer, a dude on a part-time job. Click pictures, write an article, go to Sudan/Karabakh, get shot in the ass and tell the whole world about it through the AIDS-Info newspaper => this is pure freelancing.
And WEB and freelangisn = some kind of devilry.
