As 2023 was home to layoffs, a mix of return to the office and letting go of office space, and more workers figuring out what truly works for them, 2024 may just be the year of the independent workers as more people choose to bet on themselves and their unique talents.

These independent workers have the experience and skillset culled from years of corporate work with a drive to do something different. These individuals are carving their own path and creating what they see as missing in the current job market. This can include everything from fractional work to unique collaborations to using their specialized talent to create powerful new employment trends and avenues for personal and professional growth.

How are companies responding? More and more of them are now offering contract jobs which offer flexibility for both employee and employer. Contract and freelance work offer the flexibility and scalability that can work for both parties, creating an employment win-win.

As the 2024 job market continues to take shape, look for more independent workers and contact opportunities to make their mark.
