Lack of Security.
Independent contractors can quit and stop working unexpectedly without co-employment companies.

Limited Control.
Engaging with independent contractors will give you less control over their productivity as they usually operate autonomously.

Compliance with Local Labor Laws.
Since the labor laws and taxation vary in different countries, your talent from an overseas market will not be protected by your country’s domestic agreements.

High Attrition Rate.
Since independent contractors are free to come and go, the quick turnover rate when hiring them is a risk you can possibly face
