The world’s most popular interview-based podcast for senior talent acquisition and HR professionals. Guests are thought leaders and practitioners, many of whom have global reputations for innovation.
A recent report published by McKinsey indicates that the digital talent marketplaces driving the “gig economy” could play a significant role in increasing global GDP by $2.7 Trillion by 2025.
Upwork is currently the biggest talent marketplace place in the world and I was delighted to get the chance to speak to Stephane Kasriel their CEO for this week’s podcast.
The topics we discuss include:
• The merger of Elance and oDesk that created Upwork • How a talent marketplace actually works • The huge diversity of skills represented on the platform • Remote working and dynamic corporate talent pooling • Solving the global digital skills crisis • What the future of work will look like
Stephane also talks about Upwork’s experience of having an employee base that is 70% freelance and distributed across the world
