Freelance vs Part-time

Freelance graduate talent can offer specific skills for short-term or project-based work, while part-time roles may appeal to those continuing with studies or managing multiple commitments.

A popular option for internships or project-based roles is a fixed-term contract, which allows you to assess a graduate’s performance before considering a longer-term commitment.
