I met this planner who said he was ’freelance’.

He said he was a contractor but didn’t use agents.

Anyone else done much direct contract work? Is it do-able as a career path? What companies will outsource the planning aspect of work directly?

    Hi Oliver

    The company I’m working employs freelancers through agents and direct. I know some other companies who do the same. It depends from needs and opportunities.

    Regards

    Dieter,

    How do you get into freelance work without agents? is it just through contacts from previous employers?

    I heard that companies don’t usually do direct hire as it gives the contractor extra rights, which in-turn makes sacking them more risky?

    it is just through personal contacts.

    For the regulations: I just have some information on the German ones. There are some mines that after a certain time you have some rights for perament employment indepent if you came through an agent or not. It can be excluded within the contract.
