Prolancer - The new way to hire talent

-

Sourcing the right candidates and hiring employees is a costly and time-consuming task for employers. It is even more challenging for start-up businesses with limited resources; they do not have enough time or funds to hire the right professionals while also progressing their ideas, and running marketing campaigns to attract customers for newly-developed products or services.

Some businesses prefer to hire in-house, while others outsource their recruitment activities to other organisations with HR expertise.

However, the costs and the time required to find the right professionals for a job are similar, whichever route you choose - and small savings one way or the other do not meet the needs and resources of companies - specially for start-ups or SMEs.

What traditional recruitment processes and hiring costs must you consider?
  • Fixed cost of an HR department: or outsourcing to expensive recruitment companies
  • Spending hours screening 100s of applications and obtaining references
  • Tying up valuable management time on lengthy interviews and candidate assessments
  • Your limited access to global talent due to expense – e.g. need to obtain work Visas, as well as relocation costs – means you miss opportunities from major talent pools
  • Huge cost of firing and redundancies – should you ever have to

Considering all these facts, employers are increasingly using a newer, more cost-effective and streamlined method to source the right talent for their jobs/projects: Freelancing Platforms.

These offer hirers and employers better flexibility and significant savings in sourcing the right talent from around the globe. They represent a particularly useful method of hiring for smaller businesses and start-ups, as there is little cost associated with the recruitment process for them.

The first-generation platforms have made an impact but have their limitations, and now it’s time to graduate to a next-generation, Smart Solution – Prolancer.

Can technology help remote workers to be happier?

A rising number of young professionals are working remotely and preferring a nomadic lifestyle. The trend shows no sign of fading either, with the World Economic Forum calling remote working ‘one of the biggest drivers of transformation’ in the workplace[1]. According to the Work Foundation, the trend is likely to continue too, as the research predicts that by 2020, 70% of organisations will allow their staff to work from home.   But does remote working make us happier, which leads to better engaged and more productive? According to the research so far, working from home involves significant trade-offs. On the plus side, remote workers tend to be more satisfied with their jobs[2]; feel less time pressure[3], exhaustion [4] , and stress from meetings [5] ; and experience less work-life conflict [6] . But they also have a lower sense of inclusion [7]   and get less feedback and social support [8]   leading remote workers feeling better personally, but their work relationships seem to

Starting a Professional Freelancing Career?

Our parents looked for jobs by browsing dozens of newspapers and going to Companies directly, to look for a job…and often, they would find a job in a short period of time. With the advances in technology, we have changed the way we do things – including the way we search and apply for jobs. We are increasingly reliant on Company Websites and University Career Centres to look for job opportunities. We prepare our CV and send online applications for different jobs, in the hopes of receiving a reply from our favourite organisation. In a nutshell, this is what our professional and private life looks like after University: Traditional job-hunting processes and work issues Send hundreds of applications to random employers Discouraged by continuous rejections Settle for a low-paying job that doesn’t match your professional skills and experiences Attend lengthy interviews and tedious assessments Stuck in traffic for 2 hours each day Tied to an office from 9:00am
