Connext vs. Independent Contractors

Choosing the Right Fit for Your Business

Struggling with hiring and managing independent contractors? Connext offers a better way to build your team.

When to Choose Connext Over Independent Contractors

For businesses needing 1-3 freelancers for short-term projects, platforms like Upwork can be a quick fix. But if you need dedicated professionals who seamlessly integrate into your operations and provide long-term stability, Connext is the smarter choice.

With independent contractors, you may face legal risks, inconsistent performance, and administrative headaches. Connext eliminates those challenges by providing a reliable, fully supported team that works exclusively for you.

Our service model lets you hire and manage top global talent with ease—ensuring full compliance, operational efficiency, and a hassle-free experience. We handle the administrative complexities so you can focus on growing your business.

The Connext Lets You Hire Smarter, Scale Faster

Independent contractors may seem convenient, but they come with challenges: unreliable VAs, complex payroll systems, compliance issues, and many more. Connext gives you the flexibility of independent hiring risk-free.
