The Future of Hiring: How SkillGigs is Revolutionizing Staffing with Brad Hill

Online platforms are beginning to disrupt this gig economy industry by providing a more efficient way to find the right people for the job. In this conversation, we are joined by Brad Hill from SkillGigs to talk more about their approach to effectively matching employers with the right talent for a job. Skillgigs is a technology that simplifies hiring and alleviates staffing shortages by placing talent quicker. With SkillGigs, there are no middlemen between employers and the people with the required talent. This ensures employers get the perfect fit.
