Leveraging the gig economy

The gig economy, where organizations hire workers for projects that typically have a measurable end result as opposed to a permanent job, offers many organizations the opportunity to attract the best talent for a specific project.

Sally Hunter, Managing Director of EMEA & Global Accounts, recently spoke to UNLEASH on the gig economy and how it impacts talent acquisition. Sally spoke about the benefits of the gig economy to both employers and employees, as well as what businesses can do to leverage it to their benefit.

From the article:

“For employees, gig working gives them flexibility and the option to pick and choose the projects they work on,” says Sally Hunter, managing director of EMEA and global accounts at Cielo.

“The modern workforce wants to work wherever and whenever they want, whilst maintaining high levels of development and fulfilment. The gig economy does just this – giving people unlimited flexibility whilst also allowing them to plan their own development with each project, rather than following a conventional career path.”
