leading Enterprises Are Embracing
a Freelance workforce

The way talent is engaging with companies is changing. Traditional workers are exiting the workforce at a rapid pace, with over 1/3rd of the US workforce opting for self employment today, and over half predicted to be freelance by 2027.

We Have A Unique And Proprietary Process​

The goal is to progress through each Horizon so you can truly realize the benefits of a freelance workforce.

Horizon 3 – Freelance fundamentally transforms the way you access talent. What is most different, is that freelance becomes a growth, efficiency, and innovation engine rather than just another talent channel.

Horizon 2 –  Freelance is a strategic workforce that can handle moderate to high risk, moderate to high quality, and is strategically planned for.

Horizon 1 – Freelance talent platforms are just another vendor, handing low skill, low cost, and low risk work.

The results are clear

What's The Business Case?

Freelance workforce models unlock 30-50% cost savings compared to traditional external hiring processes by using cutting edge workforce technology to:

1: Replace human and manual processes with software.

2: Increase visibility and reduce inefficiencies within the VMS, MSP, and talent marketplace technology stack

3: Replace 6-12 month SOW’s with 1-3 month SOW’s since freelancers can do more with less time. 

Freelance models can find, interview, and compliantly onboard talent within 2-5 days. They do this by leveraging the below technologies:

  • Freelancer network aggregation and management
  • Intelligent Matching
  • Automated Classification
  • Automated Background Checks
  • Virtual Desktop Integration
  • Existing Onboarding Processes


If done right, the right freelancer can be hired in seconds.

The freelance economy unlocks transparent merit measurement. 

While the typical best practice is ratings/reviews, we enable our clients to fundamentally re-structure their data in ways that optimize the right talent, working on the right problems, at the right time.
