Ask both candidates the same questions
Ask how your particular difficulty would be handled, such as an out-of-state tour or two dependent closings. Review compensation, duration, responsibilities and termination provisions in the proposed agreement. Compare documented deliverables rather than headcount or self-ranking.
| Question | Team candidate | Solo candidate |
|---|---|---|
| Day-to-day contact | Which named person handles each task? | Which tasks are handled personally or by support? |
| Availability | Who covers when the contact is unavailable? | What is the backup arrangement? |
| Scope | What is included in the agreement? | What is included in the agreement? |
| Evidence | Relevant examples with confidentiality respected | Relevant examples with confidentiality respected |
Which written responsibility matters most?
Ask both candidates for the same written explanation of availability, negotiation, transaction coordination, compensation, duration and termination. Compare the commitments that apply to your situation rather than a team-size label.
