# To hire or not to hire: how to bring in expertise without the overheads?

Writer: DNA-BusinessDNA-Business
Figure out how to optimise, automate and outsource whatever your business requires to function to free up your most valuable resources: time, intellect and people. Founders typically outsource skills to:
  • Focus on Core Business: Startups often wear many hats. Outsourcing frees up founders to focus on the core aspects of their business, like product development, fundraising, and strategic planning. By delegating tasks that others can do efficiently, founders can dedicate their energy to areas where their unique vision and skills are most valuable.

  • Access Specialized Expertise: Finding top talent in every area can be tough, especially for a small team. Outsourcing allows founders to tap into a global pool of skilled professionals for specific tasks. This can be particularly beneficial for niche skills or temporary needs.

  • Cost-Effectiveness: Hiring full-time employees comes with salary, benefits, and overhead costs. Outsourcing can be a more cost-effective way to access talent, especially for tasks that don't require a permanent team member.

  • Scalability: Outsourcing allows founders to easily scale their workforce up or down based on project needs. This is crucial for startups that experience rapid growth or fluctuating workloads.

  • Innovation and Fresh Perspectives: Exposure to different work styles and expertise can bring new ideas and approaches to the table. Outsourcing can be a source of innovation for a young company.
