NewTech is different and better than the available alternatives when you need technical consulting or staff augmentation. Alternative providers will typically find an independent contractor to help you. That’s bad. Here’s why:

1.	Independent contractors will bail out of your project for another two bucks per hour across town. Motivation: maximize dollar per hour.
2.	Independent contractors will recommend “state of the art” (beta) platforms in solutions they recommend. Motivation: build that resume, at customer expense.
3.	Independent contractors mostly look out for themselves and are not typically the most loyal members of your team. Motivation: self-interest
4.	Independent contractors and others will low-ball the estimate of effort to get the job, telling customers what they actually want to hear—instead of the truth. Motivation: get the job at all costs, even if you have to stretch the truth.
5.	Independent contractors will write “career secure” code that no one can decode except THEM. Motivation: job security

Always be sure to ask if the candidate is a full-time employee of the consulting firm. (All NewTech people are.) Ask if the consultant gets a pension plan and complete benefits. (All NewTech people do.) NewTech makes huge investments in the recruitment, selection, hiring, retention, and continued training of our people, who are quite literally some of the best you will ever find. IN addition to being great in terms of technical skills, NewTech people are easy to work with and are trained from day one to look out for the customer FIRST.
