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.

Freelancing is the future of work

Why not existing External Talent Models?

Freelance models will become the majority of the work in the next 10 years.

When we say freelance, we are defining direct, independent contractor relationships where clients always have access to the white’s of the person doing the works eyes. Freelance talent typically is sourced through talent marketplaces, and can be managed alongside existing VMS and MSP relationships.

For companies, freelance models already unlock transformational breakthroughs in speed to hire, quality of talent, and cost efficiencies. For talent, freelance models are becoming the preferred way of working. Combine these two advantages, and it’s obvious leading brands need to scale their freelance workforce to compete for the next 30 years.
