Are you sure about your math? $200 per hour is $1600 per day or $8K per week with no overtime. A 17-week consultant will cost you $136K, or about what the full-year employee costs with benefits and overhead.

The only compelling argument here seems to be if you can't keep and hold that employee more than four months. Then consultants make more sense.

. Paying
$150-$200 an hour for a four month network implementation project is much more cost
effective than carrying a person at say $70k for a whole year. No offense to anybody
intended, but most HR types couldn't even begin to gauge the differences between a good
I.S. pro and a poor one, by resume or by interview.

This appears to be proven in the market place.
