50% of the global contingent workforce are independent contractors, yet many companies still lack a system to manage their external talent. This leads to: compliance risks, financial inefficiencies, missed opportunities, and a complete loss of control. It’s time to wake up–independent contractor management must change.? With the right system, your company can: ? Track and recognize the level of external talent you engage with.? ? Unlock access to the right talent at the right time.? ? Ensure a seamless experience with built-in compliance, for everyone. And yes, you can finally have a better system than a spreadsheet.?? #RidingWithMorten ??

50% of freelancers are considered highly-skilled. Organisations that don’t use independent talent are falling behind when solely relying on traditional hiring models. When companies integrate freelancers into their workforce strategy, they gain expertise, adaptability, and innovation.
