🐱‍🏍 How To Access 43 Million Freelancers in Europe | The Independent Workforce | Glen Hodgson

“Companies that ignore independent talent won’t just miss the best, soon they won’t even get the good or the average. Flexibility is no longer a perk; it’s survival.”

In this episode, we discussed why freelancers are rising, how companies can collaborate with them better, and what needs to change in mindset, policy, and practice for this model to thrive, in particular:

👉 What companies risk losing when they ignore independent talent.

👉 The mindset shift from job titles to value, skills, and measurable outcomes.

👉 Practical advice for companies on how to build trust with freelancers.

Join Yurii Lazaruk, an Executive Director of Strategic Partnerships at freelancermap, and Glen Hodgson, the founder of Free Trade Europa, a think tank championing openness, free trade, and ethical policy-making across Europe, and the Freelance Movement, a platform uniting honest companies, policymakers, and freelancers to shape a fair and thriving platform economy.

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!
