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.

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.

WHAT CAN GO WRoNG...
The risk Is Too Large
Like any complex system, small decisions at the start can have large consequences as you scale.
Leaders turn to us to see their blind spots, get in the trenches, and convert the chaos into clarity of how they’re organization should uniquely embrace the freelance economy.
Unfortunately…if done wrong…
- $100m classification lawsuit?
- Tax bill from India?
- Security breach?

Compliance, legal, and security requirements
Unfortunately when engaging freelancers you are always a couple wrong decisions from a multi-million dollar lawsuit, bill from the government, or nightmare PR. Everything is solvable. Whether VDI capabilities, or the right onboarding process.
Cross Company Collaboration
Going from $200,000 to $1m requires cross company collaboration.
You will need executive support from multiple working teams, legal, procurement.
Partner Prioritization & Integration
Beyond $1m you will need multiple partners integrated within your existing infrastructure.
There are over 1,000 freelance related solutions and many of the work you'll need to do is already done by partners. However choosing the wrong partner can be catastrophic, and not integrating partners within your existing infrastructure can be equally devastating.
