Companies decide to offer employment to workers or alternatively outsource the task to independent consultants for a variety of reasons. In some cases, skills shortages may mean that it is difficult to recruit permanently, in other cases such skill shortages mean that retention of permanent staff is virtually impossible especially for small and medium size businesses ( 1 ). For other companies, the driver behind such decision is the length of the project or whether there are indeed long-term employment prospects for the worker. For other companies, decisions may rest around headcount numbers and profitability per employee. For others the choice is governed by the hidden employment costs in areas such as holidays, sickness, redundancy costs and the potential risk of the costs of removing the employee from the business (redundancy and unfair dismissal).
