There are several advantages to using independent contractors rather than employees.
Money Savings - Even though most employers pay contractors more per hour than they would pay employees to do the same work, it usually ends up costing employers more to hire employees. When you hire an employee, you will have to pay a number of expenses that you don't have to pay for contractors, including employer-provided benefits, office space, and equipment. You will also have to make required payments and contributions on behalf of your employees, including:
Altogether, these expenses typically increase your payroll costs by 20% to 30% -- or more.
You have staffing flexibility. Working with contractors allows employers greater leeway in hiring and letting go of workers, which can be especially advantageous for employers with fluctuating workloads. You can hire a contractor for a specific task or project. You won't have to face the trauma, expense, and potential legal trouble that can accompany firings and layoffs.
Contractors bring specialized expertise to the job eliminating the time and cost of training.
You reduce your exposure to lawsuits. Employees have a wide array of rights under state and federal laws -- and, therefore, a variety of legal claims they can potentially bring against their employers for violating those rights. Because contractors are independent businesspeople, they are not protected by many of these laws.
Orhan reached out to me about a position with Munich Re (Hartford Steam Boiler). He has been wonderful to work with. He is delightful, and has done a good job following up to ensure the meeting information is confined and is clear.
Information Security Officer
It was great to catch up with Sal and meet Stacy. They did a great job asking the right questions to understand the needs of our team. Not all contracting companies do this, and it makes a big difference. Additionally, as someone that recently went through an imposter situation with a new hire, it was great to hear about the contractor verification process. Unfortunately, as this practice becomes more common place the verification is going to be more and more important. Looking forward to seeing the candidates.

AWS Admin/Analyst
I had an incredibly positive experience working with Sal and his team at Covenant Technologies, who were thoroughly professional & proactive. Sal quickly reviewed my resume and gave me very useful feedback to make a few seemingly minor but high-impact changes. It took just a couple of short calls to understand my requirements for a role and find the right fit.
I highly recommend Sal & the Covenant Technologies team and wish them the very best!

I recently had the pleasure of connecting with Matt Pettinato and Casey Marquette CISSP, CRISC of Covenant and I couldn't be more impressed by these guys! Covenant stands out in its approach to recruiting. They take the time to understand and appreciate potential candidates' unique career paths and transferable skills and how they align with a role in the security industry. If you're searching for a recruiting company that thinks outside the box, I recommend giving Covenant a chance. You can thank me later!

As a contractor, you may decide to work 6 months out of the year yet make more money than as a full-time employee. This provides you with the flexibility to work the months you want to work.
As a contractor, you can choose the projects you accept as well as the companies you work for. This means you can also gain experience across multiple industries or find a specific niche within your own skill set as you seek contract work.
Contractors often earn a higher hourly wage than full-time employees due to a lack of benefits and shorter employment terms. Contractors also offer their specialized abilities to fill a need in an organization.
