A short YouTube advice clip (by David Jenyns) recommending that businesses outsource repetitive or simple tasks before hiring internal employees. The speaker argues this is typically cheaper, offers hiring/firing flexibility (work-for-hire contractors vs payroll employees), and helps early-stage businesses discover their operational rhythm and what tasks to keep in-house.
And in general, most of the repetitive or simple tasks that you have in your business, you should look for ways to outsource that first before you hire internally. Why? It's just straight up basics of math. It will always be cheaper to outsource to contractors and outsource to people who you have the ability to hire and fire immediately because they're work for hire versus it's somebody who's on your payroll, who's a team member who you have to give, you know, three warnings to before you let them go. And especially if you're just starting and you don't really know what the rhythm there is going to be for them to work with you. Outsourcing is great. It helps you find your tempo. It helps you find what you really do as a business to outsource.
