“One of the best reasons to bring in freelancers is that they teach you what’s happening outside your walls.”

In this episode, we discussed how independent work, trust, and AI are reshaping the future of workforce strategy, in particular:

👉 The rise of freelancers, contractors, and fractional experts in global companies.

👉 Why trust is the #1 challenge in hiring independent talent.

👉 Practical steps companies can take to integrate freelancers into their workforce strategy.

Join Yurii Lazaruk, an Executive Director of Strategic Partnerships at freelancermap, and Jon Younger, a published author, educator, Forbes contributor, and HR tech thought leader whose work has shaped how global companies engage independent talent who's often called the godfather of the freelance revolution.

Together, they are exploring the now and the future of work through the lens of temporary employment, and how companies can get the most out of such collaboration!
