In 2022, Accor faced major hiring challenges for experienced IT experts. The company also dealt with a fragmented talent marketplace. These issues made it difficult to access the right specialist profiles quickly across its organization. Accor implemented a freelance resourcing approach by partnering with a marketplace starting in 2017. The company worked with experienced freelancers across roles including Product Designers, Digital Project Managers, Business Analysts, and Marketing Project Managers. Engagements were typically structured as medium-term assignments. Since 2017, Accor engaged 500 experienced freelancers on average 6-month engagements. At the time of the case, 40 freelance projects were underway across multiple functions. This approach helped Accor address its need for experienced experts despite broader hiring challenges.
