Flexibility and scalability
Freelance medical writers offer you a flexible approach to resource management as you can work with them on a project-specific basis. This is an agile way of working that incorporates freelancers into the team as and when necessary, allowing the agency to efficiently scale their workforce according to the workload. Optimal resource allocation can be achieved during peak periods but without having to find, train and permanently hire new writers.
Specialist help when you need it
Freelancers often possess a wealth of experience across different therapy areas. Their diverse skill set give you the opportunity to handpick subject matter experts for each project, so that your experienced in-house staff can oversee their contributions and deliver many times the workload they could handle alone.
Efficient turnaround
Freelance medical writers are adept at managing tight deadlines and maintaining a sharp focus on individual assignments. Their capacity to dedicate undivided attention to projects can expedite turnaround times, meeting client expectations promptly.
Cost-effectiveness and resource management
Opting for freelancers introduces cost-efficiency by eliminating fixed expenses associated with permanent employees, such as salaries, benefits, and infrastructure costs. Agencies can allocate budgets strategically, optimising financial resources for other critical areas.
Fresh perspectives and innovation
Experienced freelance writers have worked on diverse projects with a variety of clients. Their creative thinking and innovative approaches can contribute fresh perspectives to content development within your project, enhancing the overall quality of the project deliverables.
Workload distribution
As medical writers, we all know the feeling when we would like to clone ourselves so that we can do twice as much work in the same amount of time. Having a trusted freelance medical writer is the next best thing to that. In house medical writers can gain experience in overseeing other writers, people management and delegation, reducing their stress and the likelihood that they will approach burn-out in busy periods.
Remote work means you pick from a global talent pool
The widespread adoption of remote work allows agencies to collaborate with the best freelance writers worldwide. This global talent pool expands the agency’s reach and grants access to a broader range of specialised writers.
Freelance medical writers can move in-house
The process of recruiting a new member of the team is time-consuming and difficult and test pieces and interviews, no matter how thorough, only go so far. What better way to find the perfect fit for your team in the long-term than to work with trusted freelance writers, who may then want to make the move to a permanent role.
