defining freelance talent.
• While "freelancer" traditionally refers
primarily to independent creative and editorial
professions, such as journalists, today the term
can refer to workers across different fields

The market for talent is evolving. While flexible
talent and work arrangements have always played
an important role in certain parts of the world of
work, they are now considered mainstream. HCPs
