Hi Bob,
Just circling back on this.
The most common reaction I get is: "Sounds great in theory, but how does it
actually work day-to-day?"
Short answer: exactly like a normal hire. Same hours, same tools (Slack,
Teams, whatever you use), same management structure. The only difference is
the cost.
If you've got 5 minutes this week, I'm happy to walk you through how other
recruitment firms have set this up.
