Befreelancer, an innovative idea!
Working freelance is a trend that is being confirmed! Indeed, this type of remote work via freelancing platforms has become a social phenomenon and finds more and more adherents.
Independent intellectuals who accept proposed assignments have found it beneficial for them, and companies (essentially SME) that want to outsource part of their tasks as well.
Simple and fast, freelancing platforms have numerous advantages. But still, one should understand their operating principle and which needs they actually meet!
Freelancing platform: to what end? How does it work?
A freelancing platform is a subcontracting website which establishes contact between project owners or companies (wishing to outsource some tasks) and independent intellectuals with various skills, in order to carry out a project.
In concrete terms, online recruiters post a detailed ad on these linking platforms and it is up to the freelancers to make an estimate. The latter are requested to subscribe on the platform by introducing all information related to their field of expertise. Some platforms operate conversely to their counterparts; on the former, the companies find and send proposals to independent workers.
Generally, the tasks assigned are occasional and brief, but could also be regular and for the long term if both parties find if fruitful and are satisfied with their collaboration. Even though this type of online platforms proposes mainly assignments for web-related professions (web development, mobile app development, graphic design…), we can find new fields of expertise such as editing, consulting services for companies, project management, etc.
But what is the gain of these freelancing platforms? The latter earn money by deducing a commission from the cost of the project proposed by the client or from the turnover of the freelancer.
Freelancers are transforming the professional world
The biggest problem a freelancer might face is finding clients; subscribing to a freelancing platform is an easy and rapid way to explore and get contracts.
Not only do independent intellectuals benefit from a significant number of potential clients who recruit online, but they also increase their visibility via the renown of the platform.
Freelancing platforms: an innovative way to carry out one’s projects
SMEs, and even big companies, should reap the benefits from collaborating with freelancers. It is common knowledge that today, companies are constantly on the lookout for solutions that would reduce their costs, and calling on to a freelancer is first of all guaranteeing the completion of a service at lower costs. In fact, independent workers cost less than a full-time employee (wage bills, social security contributions, etc.) and they provide top notch work because their reputation is on the line.
Furthermore, by adopting this new operating mode, companies adhere to the new “in project mode” trend, the outsourcing of some tasks, and it gives them the opportunity to explore new sources of ideas thereby witnessing a transfer of skills from outside to inside the company.
