Learning and Development teams often rely on consultants to take on specialized projects or to fill short-term staffing needs efficiently. Utilizing instructional design contractors can help L&D teams handle seasonal demands or specific initiatives, such as onboarding new hires or implementing a new software system. While managers typically have solid interview techniques for hiring full-time team members, hiring instructional design or eLearning development contractors requires a tailored approach. It’s crucial to revisit and adjust your interview strategy to ensure you find the right fit for your unique project requirements.
