The business world is full of examples of consultants that get hired and end up providing less than satisfactory results. Sometimes it is because the person hired isn't really a consultant, and is just between jobs trying to make ends meet. Other times it may be the hiring manager's fault, and the person brought in wasn't the right fit to begin with. If you hire a Consultant or Contractor you want to make sure that you hire the right person, set up a successful relationship right from the start and get the most for your money. This paper will help you do that - it discusses the top ten things to consider when hiring a consultant or contractor and also includes a quick checklist at the end.
