???? Malt Keynote Available Now ??

Our CEO Matthew Mottola recently keynoted to over 150 German Executives and led two panels for Malt ’s Freelance Forward Summit in Berlin and Munich.?

Matthew's Key Takeaway: Companies are eager to be strategic, but they must embrace education and invest in freelance as a strategic growth driver. This means Companies must approach freelance with a “white piece of paper” rather than relying on existing frameworks, tools, and traditional talent solutions and strategies (I'm talking to you contingent talent programs).

Over the next couple of months, we'll share our learnings and how companies can be at the forefront of work.

?? Mellow's Head of Brand & Growth Joins the Pod ??

Are you fishing in the same pond as everyone else? We all know there are plenty of freelancers in the US, Europe, and increasingly LATAM. But what about Africa, Serbia, Georgia, and other emerging, hard-to-reach regions?

Today’s guest, Alex Norovyatkin, and Mellow, have been experts in this since 2012.

We’re all familiar with major players like Deel, Remote, and other global payroll, classification, and employer of record solutions. But while they have broad coverage, these don’t specialize in hard-to-reach regions as Mellow does — and this specialization makes all the difference. For instance, Mellow operates as a Contractor of Record (COR), not an Employer of Record (EOR) or Agent of Record (AOR), and this distinction is tailored to hard-to-reach regions. They also offer contractor specific solutions that ensure clients have access to the best talent.

What You Need To Know

The Case For Independent Consulting - Why is traditional consulting being disrupted by talent platforms like Catalant Technologies , Talmix , and Lynk ?

James O'Dowd breaks down the diminishing path to partner to show why the best consultants are becoming independent. He says:

• "The route to equity Partnership within larger professional services firms has become longer in recent years. Historically, during periods of rapid growth for some of the industry’s most recognizable brands, high performers could achieve equity Partner status in as little as 8–10 years. Today, however, the story is different. For most consultants, the journey from entry-level to Partner now spans 14–18 years, with only a few exceptions. This marks a stark contrast to earlier generations of Partners, who benefitted from faster career progression during times of significant industry expansion. This extended timeline has become even more evident over the past 18 months. Challenging economic conditions have led many firms to delay Partner-level promotions, raise revenue targets, and reduce the number of equity Partner roles available. Instead, firms are increasingly promoting individuals to titles such as Managing Director—positions that, while prestigious, often lack the financial rewards and strategic influence traditionally associated with equity Partnerships.

Rapid Rise In Interim Executives, the OG Fractional - Although it's from 2023, Business Talent Group's Report quantifies the rise in part time, fractional, interim, or whatever we want to call part time executives.

• The need for interim leadership rose 116 percent year over year at all levels throughout organizations, with the demand for such help in the C-suite rising by 78 percent.
• Most wanted were CFOs, representing nearly half of all requests.
• CFO requests saw 103 percent growth year over year, while interim controller requests grew 233 percent.
• CHRO’s and chief transformation officers rose 100 percent year over year.

Partnerships Continue - eTeam and Talmix team up.

• Partnership is a top 3 growth driver for flexible talent platforms. Talmix has been a leader in platform partnerships, with their latest combining Traditional Staffing and Digital Talent Solutions.
