SmartPandas vs Internal hires

Why use external expertise overview?

Whilst in-house teams can have their advantages, relying solely on internal hires often comes with limitations, from high costs and lengthy recruitment cycles to challenges in scaling and retaining talent. External expertise offers a vital solution, bringing flexibility, specialist knowledge, and a fresh perspective that is difficult to replicate internally.
