Removing road blocks to getting documentation specialists

Clients tell us there is no shortage of documentation work that needs to be done. Yet there are roadblocks that prevent them hiring technical writers, editors and instructional designers.

Let's take a look at some common roadblocks to getting a resource who will ease your workload, and TechWriter's solutions.

Roadblock	TechWriter Solution
Hiring freeze	Instead of hiring a contractor directly, purchase the service directly from TechWriter. Contact us for more information on how this can work for you.
Not enough work to justify a full time position	Hire a part-time contractor/specialist to get the output you need. We have lots of technical writers seeking part time work - from one to four days' work per week.
One of your team needs to produce top quality documentation but doesn't have the experience, confidence or expertise required	Send your best delegate on a TechWriter Foundations course. We'll train them in all the basics of writing so that they can get started on your documentation with confidence.
Not enough budget	Hire a junior writer. Take advantage of TechWriter's cadet or graduate programs. You hire a junior technical writer that we'll coach and mentor over the duration of the contract.
