Be Prepared for Workforce Evolution with Work Market

When you’re competing for talent on a global scale, you need allies. More than 53 million Americans are freelancers and 66% of employers are taking advantage of this flexible workforce. If those numbers aren’t overwhelming enough, consider this: In two short years, the use of non-employee labor is predicted to grow by a whopping 30%.

If you want to dig into that potential talent pool, you can’t go it alone. That’s why we started the IQNConnect Global Alliance Ecosystem. It’s also why we have ecosystem partners like Work Market.

Work Market is an end-to-end SaaS solution to help companies find high-quality freelance and contract talent, connect with and manage that talent and drive efficiency and quality work. This integrated platform serves you through the entire process of finding, hiring, managing and paying freelance and contract workers. Essentially, Work Market enables the development and maintenance of an extended talent pool.

Why add Work Market to IQNavigator capabilities?

“The challenge for procurement and human resources professionals has been managing the total workforce — which comes from several sources — in an effective and efficient manner,” Kathryn Buchanan, Vice President of Corporate Development at IQN, says. ”IQNavigator and Work Market connect businesses with the right talent for the job, giving them a leg up in the war for talent.”

Of course, IQN already provides a platform for total workforce management, but Work Market brings more to the table.

“Nurturing and maintaining a market-ready contractor workforce is a critical concern for our mutual customers who are looking for the ability to staff up and down as needed and to quickly hire quality contract labor,” Buchanan says. “Work Market and IQN have joined forces to offer a more comprehensive workforce solution to help businesses better find and manage all of their non-employee workforce.”

Together, this partnership can offer more than either could offer alone. Managing an extended talent pool has never been easier than IQN and Work Market can make it together.

“Through this partnership, customers can streamline management, payment and reporting processes into a single workflow,” Buchanan explains. “The partnership leverages the latest technology to help customers quickly identify and directly secure the best contractor talent available.”

What the partnership means to you

Movement toward a more flexible, non-traditional workforce offers tremendous opportunities for companies to be more agile and responsive to changes in their business and their markets.

However, that kind of flexibility can get very complex very quickly. Bringing together the proven technology platforms of IQN and Work Market helps organizations simplify and streamline how they work with the non-employee workforce — and how they integrate all of the available resources into a single, total workforce solution.

Our entire goal when creating the IQNConnect Global Alliance Ecosystem is to allow companies to custom-create extended partnerships that support them exactly the way they need to be supported. Resources like Work Market and our other ecosystem partners help you do your job more easily today and give you the flexibility to meet the challenges that will come your way tomorrow.
