The Gig Economy: Why it's Faster, Cheaper, and Better with Rob Beiderman

The gig economy is not just about freelancing. It can be used for any contract work that requires talent. It also applies to organizations that want to outsource their work to save on costs but want to retain control over their brand and culture. The gig economy helps companies save on labor costs and acquire talent at scale by tapping into a global marketplace free from geographical restrictions or regulations. Join this conversation with Rob Beiderman and learn why companies need to pivot from a traditional talent network to a digital one which is faster, cheaper, and better.

 

Rob Biederman is the Co-Founder, Chairman, and former co-CEO of Catalant Technologies, the market leader enabling companies to get from strategy to execution faster. Biederman is also co-author of Reimagining Work: Strategies to Disrupt Talent, Lead Change, and Win with a Flexible Workforce, which lays out a vision and path for a new relationship between global companies and talent. More than 30 percent of the Fortune 100 use Catalant’s platform to frictionlessly access and deploy talent, ranging from employees to over 70,000 elite independent consultants and 1,000 boutique firms in Catalant’s Expert Marketplace.
