🤩 How Companies Really Work with Independent Talent | The Independent Workforce | Maciej Koszyk

“When you hire a freelancer, the expectation is instant value. You’re not investing months into onboarding — you’re bringing in an expert who can deliver from day one.”

In this episode, we discussed the speed, the challenges, the trust, and the future of flexible work, in particular:

👉 Why companies turn to freelancers and contractors for speed and expertise.

👉 Why freelancer networks and recommendations matter more than databases.

👉 How AI and automation are changing recruitment and freelance management.

Join Yurii Lazaruk, an Executive Director of Strategic Partnerships at freelancermap, and Maciej Koszyk, a leader who has been shaping recruitment strategies across Europe for more than a decade, from building high-volume teams for Tesla to managing contingent workforce programs for Uber, and now as Head of Devire's Center of Excellence for Recruitment and the recruitment process outsourcing delivery, he helps organizations scale their operations across Poland, Europe, and beyond.

Together, we explore the now and the future of work through the lens of temporary employment, and how companies can get the most out of such collaboration!
