As seen on
“A new class of private marketplace that connects software developers with corporations eager to hire people with the latest tech skills has popped up in Silicon Valley and other markets that attract mostly young, freelance coders.
The new approach to hiring tech workers allows corporations to quickly assemble teams that have the right skills for specific projects, without taking on the long-term financial obligations of hiring permanent, full-time employees.”
“Shelter-in-place orders around the world are forcing more and more employees to work remotely. And while flexible workplace strategies have gained traction of late, for many teams, the pandemic’s push toward full-team remote work and collaboration has presented challenges. Agile development teams, in particular, often lean on processes undertaken largely in-person, leaving many team leaders anxious about how to approach these facets in remote-only environments.”
