What is a Freelance Platform?<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A freelance platform is a marketplace connecting freelancers and companies to deliver services. This type of platform is adaptable to all types of domains such as accounting, marketing or web development: these freelance services are usually delivered via B2B marketplaces.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This model allows freelancers to easily find temporary or long-term assignments with companies that interest them. Conversely, companies can easily find the labor they need at a specific time.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This model is also called the \u201cgig economy\u201d, which means the economy of small jobs or on-demand economy, and is mainly made up of independent workers looking for freelance assignments.<\/p>\n

The place of freelance platforms in the marketplace environment<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The place of freelancers in the job market is constantly changing. Indeed, according to predictions by Peerism, 80% of the entire workforce by 2030 will be made up of freelancers. And 80% of large companies plan to expand the number of freelancers on their teams.<\/p>\n

Freelance platforms are a huge advantage for companies: they allow them to find talent anywhere, anytime. Finally, it also helps reduce expenses because freelancers are usually with a company for a short period of time to complete a specific assignment, unlike a full-time employee.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

With the COVID-19 crisis, many people lost their jobs, and going freelance was for some a second chance on the job market during this difficult period. Marketplaces are also adaptable to any field such as management, with the marketplace Connecting Freelance<\/a>, which brings together companies and freelance SAP engineers. With this platform, a company can publish its SAP sourcing needs, and consultants or engineers can easily access it if the offer matches them.<\/p>\n
