IT FIELD SERVICE LABOR OPTIONS FOR SMALL MSPs
Small MSPs looking to fulfill IT field service needs often face a range of options, from hiring full-time employees to using subcontractors or relying on marketplaces. Each approach has its strengths and limitations. Let’s explore the available options so you can select the right one for you.
Hire and manage in-house technicians to handle IT field service needs. This approach offers alignment with company culture and direct control over scheduling and quality.
Partner with subcontractors for short-term or specialized projects. They offer flexibility and additional capacity without the need for full-time staff.
Use platforms like Field Nation to connect with independent technicians. You get access to a wide network of experienced professionals for on-demand IT labor support.
Full-time employees come with fixed costs, even during downtime, and can strain your budget during periods of low demand.
Subcontractors may limit your control over technician quality, schedules, and outcomes, leaving room for inefficiencies & poor quality.
Some marketplaces rely on algorithms or lack a specialized focus, leading to inconsistent quality and technician mismatches.
