Freelancing is the new economy of the labour market. It is the job market’s equivalent of the dotcom boom. Many experts agree that it is probably the single biggest advance in productivity since Adam Smith advocated for the division of labour and job specialization. It evolved slowly at first, but the verdict is out now and it is clear that freelancing, outsourcing and the virtual/online workplace is the future face of the labour market in our generation and beyond

1). Say good bye to endless interview sessions: human resource department can now get a breather, and focus on employed staff and their welfare. Gone are the loops of numbing interview chains to sieve any quality from the chaff of unsuitable applicants vying for any job position. Many freelance hiring platforms like GIMYlancer provide a user rating system which allows clients to give a feed back on the quality of job done and their overall customer satisfaction. Thus in one quick overview you can easily pick out the best man for the job. This naturally promotes a culture of competitiveness and meritocracy amongst the freelancers as only the best would thrive.

2). Save money on office space and equipment: operating on a tight budget? No problem. Hiring freelancers keep operating costs to the minimum. Freelancers typically have all of the gear and accessories needed to tackle any project, they work from remote location and link up when necessary. It is the small and smart way to run an enterprise in today’s economy.

3). You don’t get to baby-sit anyone: the greater majority of hiring firms inevitably carry out in house training or re-training for new employees to break them into the system. This is necessary as the average new recruit fresh from the university has little or no hands on experience with the job. In the end valuable time and money is spent in bringing them up to speed with the demands of the job. Freelancers typically hit the ground running and in most cases churn out impressive results.

4). Get going and keep going with the best: freelancers are in a class of their own, the average freelancer is a leader; hardworking, an independent thinker and someone who takes initiative. Earning a living by freelancing is not for the lazy or indolent. The average freelancer is not a freeloading employee living off other people’s hard work. A freelancer is built tough, is no quitter and they would always come up with new ways to solve problems and get the job done.

5). Harness a pool of talents from diverse backgrounds: hiring freelancers for your firm or projects provides you with a varied team of workers, each member providing a unique approach to solving problems thereby increasing your range of options and effectively stimulating a necessary thinking outside the box environment.

6). Freelancing is clearly the face of the future workplace: with the growing use of mobile communication devices and increased internet penetration in sub-Saharan Africa and Nigeria in particular, virtual connectivity is at an all time high. A growing number of highly skilled professionals have made the choice to move away from the chaos of modern cities, but they would continue to provide first rate services online in workplace that is rapidly changing and moving away from the old “desk-in-a-cubicle” format. The time is now to position your business for the coming change in the business environment.
