 An Expert's Take: Why You Need Software To Manage Your Freelancers (Spend Matters, WorkMarket)

I’m a freelancer, and let me tell you – I’m keenly aware of the challenges large companies face when trying to leverage my unique and valuable capabilities. Andrew Karpie will share his thoughts on how freelance management systems can make things easier in a dynamic workforce environment.
