Most enterprises understand that access to the best talent is critical to business success, but high-performing organizations realize that this maxim doesn’t just apply their employees. They must also create programs for the growing population of highly-skilled professionals who seek to engage and operate independently: freelancers, ICs, consultants, “1099”s, and other project-based workers.
Without the right support, the challenges and risks of leveraging independent talent may seem daunting: lack of visibility into independent contractor deployments and spend, inconsistent and uninformed IC qualification decisions, escalations, IC reclassification, class-action lawsuits, co-employment issues, ACA, and more. In fact, these all loom as real threats if not managed properly.

Join Spend Matters, MBO Partners and your contingent workforce management peers to understand how innovative "independent talent intermediaries" - like MBO Partners - now make it possible to access and engage this fast-growing talent pool safely, flexibly and cost-effectively.
