White label vs hiring
Permanent capability versus variable capability.
Hiring an employee
- Capability lives inside your business
- Fixed cost regardless of demand
- Takes time to recruit and ramp
- Right when the need is core and constant
White-label partner
- Capability available when the work needs it
- Cost tied to specific delivery
- Available without a hiring cycle
- Right when demand is irregular or specialist
Hire when the need is recurring, core and keeps someone busy. Partner when the need is occasional, specialist or spiky.
