After over a year of pandemic-induced lockdowns, COVID-19 has proved to accelerate collaboration between companies and freelance professionals.
Companies can save money by leveraging on-demand professionals to speed up their projects, help implement new technology, or even help a company pivot! You can’t forget the costs of hiring a full-time employee for a project with a start and end date. With freelance professionals, employment costs are eliminated, such as benefits, inclusion to payroll, etc. It’s proven to be more economical and efficient to hire a freelance professional for a company’s ebb & flow and fluctuating business cycles than hiring someone full-time, training them, and keeping them busy once the hecticness slows down. There is a massive cost to operating in that fashion. Of course, every company needs a full-time employee base; however, more and more companies are seeing the benefits of supporting this full-time employee base with flexible staffing. Given that freelancers come equipped with experience and a highly specialized skill set to complete a project, they hit the ground running with minimal ramp-up time, cut production time in half and increase projects’ level of success!
The rise of freelancing during the pandemic has also paved the way for the so-called “Great Resignation” or the post-pandemic resignation boom. There’s an influx of professionals seeking remote options after reprioritizing their work-life balance at the height of the infamous coronavirus. The labour market is changing, and gone are the days where most professionals work for the same company for 20+ years, and in comes the “Career of Me”. More and more professionals are moving toward freelance work because it allows them to focus on work they love and hone in on their expertise — Helping companies achieve their projects, and then they move on to a different company facing a similar problem.
“That’s where Oomple comes into the picture,” says Sarah Powers, Vice President for Sales and Marketing at Oomple. “The future of work is now, and it is freelancing. Flexibility, control, lifestyle, travel, freedom and many more advantages are swaying people to freelancing. And we couldn’t agree more with her!
