<a>Systam</a> is a well-known Finnish IT company that has been leading the way in creating smarter work environments since 2006. They specialize in digital visitor management, onboarding solutions, and optimizing workspaces.
In this article, Systam’s Marketing Manager, Emmi Kurru, and People & Communications Manager, Anu Luoma, share their experiences of working with Freedomly and hiring a freelancer.
Identifying the Challenge
In the fast-paced world of technology, the pace is relentless, with new projects constantly emerging. Systam’s highly skilled team faced a positive challenge—they were swamped with projects and had an urgent need for an experienced WordPress developer to enhance and maintain their existing website.
The Decision to Hire a Freelancer
When a company needs a web developer, there are multiple options to consider: hire a freelancer, recruit a new full-time employee, or partner with a new agency.
For Systam, collaborating with a freelancer was the most strategic choice. This approach allowed them to start the task quickly and with flexibility.
