  • An Intuit report estimates that by 2020, more than 60 million Americans will be contingent workers. With long-term employment giving way to contract workers, 87% of executives leading global HR have already changed or plan to change their talent-sourcing strategy to find both contract workers and experienced employees. That includes farming out temporary work through freelance platforms like Odesk and marketing and product development through creative crowdsourcing platforms like Tongal or Quirky.

    Nice chart and narrative on the big employment intermediaries by Christopher Null @Christophernull, PCWorld, July 23, 2013. Reviews Elance, Freelancer.com, oDesk, Staff.com, TaskRabbit for Business, Toptal, Ziptask. If you need a job done quickly, and cost is your greatest concern, one of the big e-ployment services like Elance, Freelancer, and oDesk are all good bets. If you're looking for a longer-term relationship with a worker, but aren't ready to hire someone full time, one of the smaller firms, like Staff.com or Toptal, may be more compelling. Finally, TaskRabbit's heavy background checking make it an ideal pick when you need someone on-site at your place of business, and you want to be sure they're going to show up come Monday.
