Why Use a Freelancer Management System (FMS)?
As the desire for flexibility grows among the workforce, recruiters are seeking independent engagements and using on-demand platforms to help them with their business development. This trend is spanning across many labor categories including, IT, marketing, accounting/finance, creative, and more.
On-demand talent or freelancers are a wonderful solution for companies that are looking to expand their parameters of what talent looks like. This solution can bring in hard-to-find talent, while filling the gaps in your total talent management strategy.
The number of available on-demand talent platform options can intimidate a client, and it can be difficult to decipher which ones to use. Therefore, utilizing a curator and aggregator of these platforms helps them engage with many on-demand platforms while keeping the simplicity and working through one vendor.
Benefits of Using a Freelancer Management System (FMS)?
The benefits of working through a company like this include:
- Increased compliance of the independent contractor population
- Seamless integration of 1 vendor through an existing contingent labor process, VMS, or MSP
- Increased access to talent, given the relationships that exist between the curator and multiple on-demand platforms
As companies look to engage with on-demand talent, it’s important to remember that this type of talent is not going to look and feel like the traditional worker. Typically, talent on-demand works remotely, which offers the flexibility to widen the talent pool.
Additionally, on-demand talent is typically best utilized when looking to complete a project with a clear outcome. This allows talent curators to match the outcome with workers’ specific skills, to ensure the final product is completed correctly. Clients have less control over setting working hours and the focus is shifted to the completion of the task. As a result, the on-demand workforce is incentivized to maintain a high satisfaction rating as this follows them from project to project.
