What are Gig Marketplaces?
Gig Marketplaces are large, freelancer marketplaces, that have all skills, average 500,000+ freelancers, and typically focus on self service functionality.Human Cloud's Analysis
Core Problem: How do you access large volumes of freelancers? Most roles take 6+ months to get filled, and the full time labor force is dwindling.
Solution: Large, horizontal, gig marketplaces should be the first place you search. They are the historically first type of flexible talent solutions, and have the largest, most diverse set of individuals.
Important To Consider: Large, horizontal, gig marketplaces require work. Rather than picking up the phone and calling your HR, Procurement lead, or recruiter, the full process is typically up to you.
At Human Cloud we recommend weighting these factors based on your own unique requirements.
- User experience data – How well do users rate the experience of using the platform?
- Volume – How many freelancers are on the platform? Horizontal marketplaces typically have 10m+ freelancers.
- Transparency – How transparent is the platform? Are fees up front and visible? Are profiles complete, with proof that these individuals are more than just a web page.
- Social Proof – Have your peers used this platform? Has your industry used this platform?
