A THIRD OF THE WORLDWIDE WORKFORCE EXPECTED TO BE CONTRACTORS BY 2023

Global research by international recruitment firm Robert Half has found that business leaders expect to achieve a 66:34 split between permanent and temporary workers by 2023.

The research also found that 97% of business leaders identified benefits of adopting a more flexible approach to recruitment in the years to come, including more control over staffing and recruitment costs (36%), support for long-term absences, such as parental leave, sick leave (34%), and better management of workload fluctuations (32%).

Robert Half added that the rise of platforms such as Freelancer and Airtasker in sourcing temporary resources in the professional gig economy has made it easier to find the talent that businesses need, with 94% of global business leaders currently sourcing contract workers from online job platforms.
