In this gig economy we live in, which is growing rapidly, how many of you have used talent agencies, for specialized professionals on an as needed basis, to ramp up quickly and get a project done?

Question

Answer

Though expensive, my experience using 3rd party agencies allows us to have a great 1st and 2nd sober thought on key talent, internal and external, which has become all the more crucial over the past 34 months

Answer

Answer

Using agencies that are people centric in the processes can be expensive and time consuming. Software platforms now exist for allowing contractors and companies to engage and work together without human intervention. Not just simple talks like fivr and other do but qualified professionals ( like in pharmacists with locumate )
