Running a business comes with many challenges. Whether you're a CEO, a member of the management team, in charge of recruitment, or the head of a department where you have a lot of responsibility and many people trust you to take care of everything that needs to be done, you don't just need to run an entire company or department, make sure you have good finances and that everyone is happy at work - you also need to know that all positions are filled and that you have no shortage of skills. You need to know that staff is not overworked and that you have strong and self-sufficient departments throughout the company.
Working as a consultant means hiring out your services to companies that need them. There are all kinds of consultancy services, from design to IT and finance, and a consultant is often someone who has a huge amount of expertise in a particular area. It is a specialist, helping other businesses in the area that it knows best.
One of the most important departments in a company is the IT department. Partly because it's IT that makes sure all the technology works properly, all the systems, and any websites or applications. Secondly, many times IT builds systems or implementations for businesses that are essential for the business to move forward. But what happens when you don't have the right IT skills in your company?
Depending on the company you work for, the need for IT skills may not be as great. You may not need more than one or two employees who mostly work on technology, keeping the website up and running, and managing the company's IT - plain and simple. Or it may be that you actually need a larger IT department, or at least occasionally need the skills of an IT specialist who is not already working in the company. In these situations and many others for that matter, an IT consultant can be useful.

There is sometimes disagreement about whether consultants are good or bad, mainly because consultants are not employees of the company. Instead, they work on assignments, for a predetermined period. However, hiring a consultant is one of the smartest things you can do. Imagine yourself - you need a specialist in software development for a project that will last from January to April. You're thinking of hiring someone just for the project. So what do you choose? A long recruitment process that might not get you where you want to go, or an IT consultant with the right skills who steps in and works for you for a few months until the project is finished and the skills are no longer needed?
