We cannot stress this enough. In order for sustainable growth of your company for the long term, investing in a web developer as part of your permanent workforce is something that must be done. This person is imperative in today’s digital age. To be competitive, a strong digital team, which may consist of web developers, graphic designers, media strategists, etc., are needed for permanent growth.
These skills are sought after, but at the same time, they are not cherished and are oftentimes overlooked by human resource representatives that quite honestly do not know the importance of the day-to-day and long term investment that a web developer is to the company.
This is even more of a reason to do your own research and do your own recruitment. Relying on a third party or even relying on an in-house HR department to recruit for you is detrimental. Sure, you are busy. What business owner isn’t! But if you are to grow, set up this time to look for exactly what you need. Talk to different people, it doesn’t have to be a perfect match, someone who can help your company grow with you is what you really need. A perfect match means you are focused on staying where you are. Someone who doesn’t match perfectly will be able to bring a perspective that you and your company never imagined. This perspective might be a way to push it to the next level and grow even further!
Take a chance, make that investment!
