Where flexible talent fits amidst the broader talent ecosystem. Flexible talent has spent a decade promising to disrupt staffing, professional services, and the talent world. Yet...it has not. This call is about where it actually fits, why it hasn't "crossed the chasm", and how solutions can learn how to win in it without losing what makes you special.

EORs have become the cheat code for scaling flexible talent. The old objection, that the person isn't actually inside your org, is solved. Companies now get the safety of a full-time employee with the flexibility of a contractor. For a talent platform, that turns the EOR from a back-office vendor into a growth lever. Human Cloud will walk talent platforms through what makes a good EOR, what makes a good EOR partnership, and how the right partner becomes both a feature you can sell and a driver of revenue.
Rich Wilson, Co-Founder and CEO of Gigged.AI, is launching his new book on the workforce dynamics reshaping how companies get work done. The 80/20 workforce is dead. The 40/40/20 Workforce makes the case for 40 percent internal talent, 40 percent contingent, and 20 percent AI agents. Come learn the thesis, get the sparknotes, and ask Rich anything. Exclusive to the Human Cloud community.
Most teams are experimenting with AI. We rebuilt our marketing operations around it. At Human Cloud, AI agents now run an estimated 97% of our marketing: content, newsletters, social, graphics, email, and the workflows that tie them together. Matthew Mottola opens up the actual stack, the agent architecture, and the operating model: what we automated, what we kept human, where it broke, and how a small team now ships like a much larger one. You'll leave with a concrete blueprint for putting agents to work in your own marketing org.
AI, macro-uncertainty, and inflation have made change the only constant, and business teams are under pressure to adapt faster than ever. At Human Cloud, we see talent as either the bottleneck or the accelerant for every organization, yet most business leaders do not know how to build the right talent strategy, and most talent leaders do not know how to partner with the business. This session bridges that gap. Tony Buffum, Co-Founder and CSO at Human Cloud, and Chris Perkins, Founder and CEO of Model B, show how talent teams and business teams can collaborate for shared, resilient success.
RFPs are one of the most powerful growth drivers available to solutions, and one of the most underused. They are a different game than inbound, outbound, or staffing-style hiring. With an RFP, the buyer shows up with committed budget, typically above $1M, choosing a partner for a 3 to 5 year horizon rather than filling a single req. In this session, Matthew Mottola breaks down how the best solutions use RFPs to drive durable growth: how they get in front of the right opportunities, how they win, and how Human Cloud helps solutions compete for and land RFP work.
While AI and layoffs grab the headlines, the real story is 3x productivity gains and shifting hiring strategies — the best companies are re-engineering their talent equation for the speed, flexibility, and specialization AI requires.
